Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere.

Has anyone with lyme had poor mammograms?

I had a mammogram yesterday and got a call today that they want me back for an ultrasound. I keep trying to tell myself that they are just being thorough....

but last weeks ultrasound of my abdomin showed gallstoes and now I have to have Gall Bladder removed. I am fed up with this shoit.

You know I am very high risk for cancer and I go in all the time. If one thing doesn't look right I'm back for another look. This six month checkup I have been back once and now I have to go again. It's not my breast this time it's my pelvic ultrasound. I ovulate on one side and go in and she sees a cyst (normal) and I have to go back to make sure it resolved. Then oops now a cyst on the other side damn ovaries. Back again. Anyway you will most likely have a breast ultrasound and if there is a mass it is 99% accurate in detected a solid mass from a cyst. The mammogram can't do that. I tell you I went from being terrified of getting cancer to not caring if I lived or died. Even now I'm not sure but I love my family and I am getting better so I have hope. Hang in there Julie.

Julie,
I have had several mammograms and been called back to have the ultra sounds. So far they have never found anything wrong with the ultra sounds and it is just a check to be sure. Hang in there, I will pray that they find nothing on yours either. I believe most of the time this is the case and it is just a second check to make sure nothing is wrong.

Hi Julie. I know it is frustrating to have another test, but it is good the doctor is being so thorough.

I have also had to have further testing done after a mammogram.

Good luck! Keep us posted on the ultrasound and the gallbladder removal okay?

Yep. I've been back in on problems on mammogram. I was scared to death when I needed a biosopy. The fear was the worst part. Everything was fine. I think assuming that you are just getting excellent medical care is a good frame of mind! Hugs, Cheppie

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
