Well my doctor’s office called today and told me that my mammo I had Monday looked good. I had my mammo in April 2007 and they wanted me to come back to have my right breast checked again. They were sure it was scar tissue but they just wanted to make sure. I was so glad it only took them two days to get back to me and they have already scheduled my regular mammo for next April already.. I have had such great doctors.
