The CHC is referring me to the Breast Care Center-probably a diagnostic mammo I imagine. They won't refer me to the BS because the mammo came back negative or because she didn't do it on Monday when...
Janice is right. If your gut is telling you something is wrong push for a resolution and don''t just take what they say at face value and go away. Too many providers act like the think they know it...
They don't know I suspect. I go to the Community Health Center like Gina and we can't get second opinions so we are basically stuck. I have a discounted state medical program but regular doctors...
Well I had my appointment today with a nurse practitioner and here's what she said. She THINKS the lump is breast tissue. She said that she THINKS it's that because of the way it keeps going in and...
Hi Gina-thanks. I got my Mammogram films today-my breast are dense from the nipple to the back of them The only part that isn't is the area close to the surface. You have a wonderful day tomorrow!...
I think people are sometimes afraid to go get something checked because if it turns out to be nothing you might feel like you wasted the provider's time. Not me any more-I'm taking control of my...

I didn't get the radiologist report for last Thursday's Mammo but I did get last years results. It seems I have breasts that are hetereogeneously dense(51%-75% fibroglandular) They also added that...
Wow-you're state sucks. Mine pays for surgeries(I had 3 last year) plus any other visits you have to make when you're sick. I only have to pay $15 for surgeries. The radiology places they send us to...
If you don't mind me asking what state do you live in? Maybe there is some kind of program that can help. If you're low income you might even qualify for medicaid which you should check into if it...
This is what I have in my breast too. Luckily I am covered by my state's indigent care program and if any cancer is found I will be eligible for medicaid. If the mammogram that I had Thursday comes...
Okay, here's the deal. I'm 49 and will be 50 in August I started my period before I was 12, have had no children and was on BCP until 2 years ago this November. Yesterday I discovered a small lump in...
