Second mammogram showed very tiny calcifications, which of course means
biopsy.  Doctor to call.  I needed this like a hole in the head since my
back is killing me, shooting pain down through knees, even the fake knee.
Looks like an epidural (3rd one) locally would be Aug. 2, could call 75 mi.
away to see if get sooner but doubt it.  Think I will just go to bed~!!!PD

If you go to the same place each time for your mammograms, why can't
they check your previous mammograms and unless there is an abrupt
change, know that these are calcifications?  I am due for my diagnostic
mammo soon and that is my great fear.  Once one has bc every shadow
seems to mean popping you on the biopsy table.  This crap that they are
doing it to protect us doesn't satisfy me.  In this day and age  they
should be able to tell the difference between cancer and calcifications.  

I understand your concern and do wish for all of us somebody someplace
will find a better way to read these mammograms.
