You see I got that call to come back in next week for a second mammogram and an ultrasound. Im sure you know I am a basket case waiting for 2 weeks now to go back. They have called me back 3 different years and each time its because I have dense breasts they tell me that the films are harder to see. This year I had a new 3 d mammogram and I got the call 3 days after I had my mammogram. I have been physically sick waiting to go back for the second mammogram. I know these tests save lives but they sure do make a nervous wreck out of me in the meantime. Hopefuly it will b ok again, at least that's what I am praying for.

I'm so very thankful that you got a benign diagnosis! Praise God! Oh dear Kim, it is such a struggle to deal with these health issues, and to find yourself in the waiting rooms waiting for a procedure, a test, a diagnosis. I think writing about it is a great way to let that fear out of your heart, face it, and realize you don't have to let it destroy your life. I will be praying for you that peace will be with you!
