Re: Mammogram tomorrow

Patrice, I hope you will follow this up. I certainly don't want to alarm you but prior to my diagnosis I was also told to wait 6 months. I am glad I persued it instead, because that is how my initial cancer was found. The doctor did a biopsy.
Keep the faith. I am sure things will be fine because the doctors know your history... but you want to be vigilant.
