Thread: Mammogram today I'm freaking out

    Re: Mammogram today I'm freaking out

    Thank you all for your kind and supportive words! I had my biopsy yesterday and my doc called me with the results today. Calicifications are benign!!! So relived!

    The screening/call back/biopsy process is painful and terrifying, I can't go down this road every time I am due a screening, I feel like I have ptsd from this experience. When the radiologist who did my call back images was talking to me me like I had cancer it was too much. My doc has referred me for cognitive behavioral therapy... I'm hoping it will help.

    Hi Prefuse, so glad to hear your wonderful news, what a relief for you, i can imagine how you must have felt & what you’ve been through. I was waiting for cervical smear test results & every time the post came i was a nervous wreck & that was before i even knew anything. They came through & were all clear, i nearly collapsed with relief.
    I’ve had cbt & found it very helpful & believe it or not i do still practice some of what i was taught, so i definitely think you will benefit from it. Take care.

    I'm so pleased for you, Prefuse..I've been through similar stuff myself and it's mental torture but has to be endured, I suppose..

    What a huge relief for you....

    Great news ! - and indeed lots can be learnt from the experience. As I said before you heard the 'grey mid way ground' of the radiologist as being 'talking to you as if you had cancer' . They did their job, checked anything that could be suspicious, you went for your screening which is important and all ended well. I wanted to say that you are so lucky that you had a quick turn around on biopsy and results - many here have to wait up to 2 weeks :(
