Hi Wilmaone,

Best of luck for tomorrow. I had a lumpectomy and had both breasts checked by mammogram in my check up. I was pretty nervous too but everything was fine. Thinking of you.

Hugs

Kath

Hi Wilmaone,
I have had 2 clear mammos since my surgery and they just did good breast as all breast tissue was removed from other side when I had mastectomy.
Good luck tomorrow
Bernie

Hi Wilmaone
It's a bit unnerving alright, having the mammo & check-ups.
I've just had my second round of diagnostics, I cant believe two years have gone by already!!! They only did the mammo's on my non-surgical side but I had MRI's on the breast that was re-constructed. Presuming that everything comes back clear as a bell, then I'm not expecting to be offered an MRI next year, only the mammogram.
Hope all goes well
