<p>Ispf72: As one who has been there, may I offer some advice? Now, depending on where you live (we live in a large metropolitan area with several big hospitals nearby) if they see something really suspicious you will get a telephone call the day of the reading. I can tell you that the radiologist looked at my films (right after they were taken) and said that if he was a betting man that it was cancer but that I would (eventually) be ok. </p>
<p>Often breast changes are calcifications (my spelling is off right now because this isn’t a great subject for me), or subtle changes in the breast tissue. They often want to monitor and have extra shots for the next time to mark the changes.</p>
<p>Again, we live in a big city where stuff tends to get done quickly. But, saying this as a very nervous patient, try to enjoy the weekend. It is probably nothing. I’ll be thinking of you.</p>
