Mammogram First Timers 411

Well, I praise God that all is well with my ta-tas and that He kept me from hysteria while I waited for my "special view mammogram."  So, here's what "they" don't tell you.  Often, first time "mammogrammees" are called back because there is no reference point for your images.  I had a 3mm "dense-ness" - that's mm not cm.  You're then asked to come back in 6 months to see if what was SEEN is normal (has always been there or for a long time) for you and presents no growth.  So, hats off to the radiologists for being so thorough!  I just would have preferred a phone call  from the radiologist with details instead of a note in the mail that left far too many unanswered questions for this first timer with a very active imagination.
