So, I went for a bilateral breast ultrasound this morning. My MD wanted me to have a mammogram due to a very stong family history of breast cancer (mom, grandma, 4 aunts and 1 uncle). The hospital wouldn't do a mammogram due to my age. They said I was too young for a mammogram and at 29 my tissue is too soft to get a good result. Hence, the ultrasound.
Anywho...the technician spent about 15 mins just on the right side of my right breast. My left boob took about 5 mins all together...so I am totally freaking out about the amount of time she spent in that 1 region. I asked her if she saw anything out of the ordinary and she told me that she couldn't say and that my MD would call me tomorrow.
So, of course, I am totally freaking out. I'd appreciate any good vibes you could send!!!
Thanks ladies!
UPDATE 3/30/2011 Hey Ladies!
Saw my MD this morning (for something else..oy vey) and she read me my ultrasound results. Left breast was totally normal, but they found a very small mass on my right breast that they are almost certain is a cyst. I have to go back in 3 months and have it checked again to see if it has changed. Thanks for your good thoughts and prayers! I do feel a lot better just knowing that its more than likely a cyst!
