In reply to the discussion: My sister's going in for ultrasound tests this morning as a follow-up to a bad mammogram [View all]HeiressofBickworth
(2,682 posts)50. I had a something
on a mammogram. I had it for years but it had grown which caused the alarm. It was a non-cancerous fibroid growth. The Dr. was more concerned that the growth might hide something else. So out it came. Day surgery, no big deal, minimal recovery time, no pain meds required. So, I hope your sister's results are like mine -- in the long run, nothing to be concerned about. Best wishes to her.

I have one friend who went through it, and another who's a nurse...both echoed what you shared.
