I just had my titties in the wringer last week and the gal said something about a foggy picture (dense tissue) and that I may need to get a digital image. Does that mean there is a problem? It is a scary time.

If you get checked regularly, then whatever "it" is hasn't had a lot of time and that's a good thing. If it were really bad, they would have gotten you in immediately - another good sign. DH loves you (even if he isn't a talker) and you got us to talk - all good things.

I'm just starting the same process as you, I found a lump a few weeks ago, and I have an appointment to get it checked on Wed. I'm told it is probably going to be a big long process, and hurrying up and waiting..and of course constantly thinking the worst! Don't loose hope..and please try not to stress over it, you can't do anything about it at the moment, and you certainly can't control it...think positive, then deal with what ever it is when that time comes....:)

Twice I have had a problem the first time the surgeon couldn't feel anything even though it appeared really large on the mamo and the sonogram. So that was that and the second time I had minuscule calcifications that were removed in a needle biopsy. They were not cancerous. These things keep you on your toes and that is a good thing. But don't worry yourself silly. It will probably be a negative test.

When I come up on worrisome times, I practice one of my grandfather's pieces of advice.
Figure out what the worst that can happen will be.
Decide what you are going to do if the worst case scenario comes to be.
Then, relax and let things progress, as they always do.
Anything less than the worst is a good thing and quite manageable.

It sounds rather flip, I suppose, but I know that worrying can be harder on a person than the actual situation. If you can make your decisions while there is still time to control next steps, then when things get all hot and heavy, you KNOW what to do next.
It works ... and, it helps to know that GOD is in control.

Hang in there. My pap smears always came back showing abnormal cells & there was nothing wrong. It probably nothing so we are going to think that & be positive. Chin up, broad shoulders & take it like a strong tough woman that we all are. After all if men had to have babies we wouldn't be here. Lots of prays.

I'm just soooo glad that you had your mamo done.
It's never pleasant, for me anyway, but all of us
need to be brave and get it done.

You are doing all the right things---keep
busy--quilt therapy always helps me~

Sending you hugs and positive vibs!
