Mammogram done, still NED.

Yesterday I passed the mammogram with one additional retake. Still NED - thank heavens!

After driving my doctors crazy, I have an MRI put in once again and am trying to schedule.

The doctors object to false positives. I have concerns about Paget's and false negatives. The problem with my initial diagnosis was 2 lesions didn't show on my mammogram, and if the paget situtation happened again - standard of care could be the dreaded chemo!

Even tho I have now joined the chemo ninjas, and have been officially named; I'd like to opt with the asian style of 'warding off' trouble! Off to practice Tai Chi!
