Hey Jen,
Hope you've had news--and good news--by now.
It's impossible not to overanalyze everything: I went through this recently with my partner Rachel when she had a Brain MRI (and a follow up CAT) that ended up being totally clear...
She too worried about each thing the tech said and I spent hours picking over the words in my mind...
It is probably worth remembering that most techs develop a standard patter that they use to try to keep everything as neutral as possible.
And it is also probably worth remembering that radiologists read film: it's what they do. So, when they want another image, another scan, it's because it's what they know how to do--to be as sure as possible. I have a friend who is a medical oncologist who says radiologists are impossible about saying anything conclusive until they've ordered every scan known to humankind.
Best,
Jeff
