Really exhaling now
So, after the whole issue with is it a cyst or breast tissue last week, my GYN wanted me to go to a breast specialist. I'm good. It's breast just normal tissue. Apparently how you hold the ultrasound wand can make a big difference. Seriously folks. This was just freaking ridiculous. And one of the offenders was a doctor! And this all just gave me a little insight into ways our medical costs get increased. Overkill on testing and incompetence on several levels don't help keep costs down. And now, I think I am the subject of patientnapping. Where do you think I'm going for my next breast ultrasound in 6 months? Not that I want to go back to the other place, but the breast surgeon I saw today kind of lassoed me as a patient and I'll be going back there for my ultrasound. I feel more comfortable with her though. She's a specialist and with family history, that's where I want to be if something ever turns up. She explained more to me than anyone else had and asked more questions than anyone else had. Whew. I'm having a drink tonight - after my meeting of course - but I deserve it!

Thank goodness! I recently had a similar kind of scare, where my baseline mammogram showed calcifications and my GYN had me see a breast surgeon for second opinion. Turns out they are benign, no issue, and I can wait until I'm 40 for my next mammogram. So, let's clink our wineglasses together for happy news!
So glad you're OK!! And glad you found a dr you feel comfortable with.
If I were there, I would buy you that drink. Indulge & enjoy. : )
Glad you got good results! You make excellent points on overspending in healthcare too. At least you have someone you are comfortable working with!
Excellent excellent excellent news. Sigh of relief, big glass of wine. Ahhhh....
