I got one of those calls that no one ever wants to get.
They may have found something on my mammogram today.
I have an enlarged and VERY painful lymph node on the right side. Sometimes it hurts to the touch, other times even moving my arm hurts. My doctor wanted a mammogram done before she took a look at it, so I went today. I have also had 2 occasions where that side got hot and sore and one area got hard, rather like an abscess or infection. On both occasions the doctor that I was seeing (not current doctor because I changed) had me use hot compresses and told me to wait until it went away. It is one reason I changed doctors.
I am scared. The nurse did say that it could just be normal tissue in the way (not sure how), but she also said the radiologist was 'confused' by something he saw.
I really, really, really hate when a doctor says he is 'confused'. I guess that is why they are 'practicing' medicine,Know what I mean??
I go in for more tests on Thurs at 11:30. Mammogram and maybe an ultrasound,maybe more. The very good thing is that they read them and give you results while you are there. And I have a fun even to attend in the evening, so that is a good thing too. It will help me focus on the positive.
I really appreciate any support right now. This scares me.
