I'm really angry that the procedure was so painful and frankly this is inexcusable in this day and age. I'm sorry but when you wait like this it is agony. I've had the call back on a mammogram and it was horrible. <br /><br />Here's the thing though - mammograms SAVE LIVES. So if she has had regular mammograms then anything has been caught at stage where you can treat and beat. Also, they are very aggressive with screening for women now because they know that catching things makes all the difference in the world. I had my radiologist tell me that they can see so much more now than they could even a few years ago and they just don't mess around. I imagine your wife is in her 50's? I'm in my mid to late 40's. We are the highest risk group so they check everything. <br /><br />Hang in there. I am thinking of you and C this evening. Let us know when you can and are willing asap. <br /><br />Love,<br />atomic mommaatomic mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09241909236945651676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-51087073370477466442014-04-10T17:20:07.014-04:002014-04-10T17:20:07.014-04:00Be sure to let us know when you know.
