Just to report on the test today. It was a Mediolateral Oblique (MLO)mammogram. Something showed up on the side which had been malignant so she did an ultrasound. She finally determined that it was very likely a clip left from my mastectomy (intentionally left!) and said "I don't see anything bad there". She did mark the spot so I could memorize where it is and if there were any changes, to report it. Said not to worry about it. I have contacted my surgeon's office to be sure that there is, indeed, a clip. They will review my surgical report. I will feel better then. But, meanwhile, I was told to come back for a follow up mammogram in one year. And then went shopping and to lunch!
