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 gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
