My test results

Happy Wednesday everyone! Yesterday I had my followup medical appointment for my abnormal mammogram. I had to have another mammogram on the right side and an ultrasound on both sides. 

The right side turned out to be absolutely normal and no issues. 

The left side however showed 3 spots that are "probably benign." according to the doctor who read the results. He said that the protocol is to have a follow up ultrasound in 6 months.  In his report he reported that they are "circumscribed hypoechoic mass with no internal doppler signal or posterior acoustic features." These 3 masses are smaller than the size of a pea. He described them as fibroadenomas. 

Needless to say I am still anxious about these findings. Everything that I have read and seen says standard protocol is the waiting 6 months for a followup. It is going to be a long 6 months.

  1. I understand you worrying but hopefully everything will be fine. My first mammogram showed what looked like sprinkling of something on the mammogram. I was 48 and had a biopsy and went from there.

    1. I am hoping. The thing that worries me is that these fibroadenomas typically appear in younger women 35 and younger and go away as a woman gets older. I am 45 and just now finding them.

  2. I’m praying your next mammogram will be perfectly fine! I know that waiting will be tough, though. I’m not a very patient waiter. Haha! In the meantime, we will pray! 🙏🏼❤️

  7. Waiting has GOT to be the worst. I recently had to wait 2 weeks for my results. Worst weeks ever. The things that went through my mind. Hang in there. I hear ya!
