OT- problem with my mammogram
Kelly, just as someone else said earlier, just take it one step at a time. You have to be proactive with your health, which you already know. This is just one more step in that direction. What you need right now is information. Go meet with your doctor and then plan out step by step what needs to be done. You can't change anything except to take it step by step. Once you get that first piece of information you can then better arm yourself with the right tools. Don't start second guessing that is destructive. Step by Step and piece by piece.
Good luck

Oh, Kelly, I don't think I can say anything better than all these other great folks, but I wanted to let you know that I will also pray for you and Isaac. We all love you so much around here - you've been such a great source of support - I hope we are able to give some of that back to you now, (((HUGS)))

Kelly I know it is scary and upsetting but if there is something there that they need to take care of it is best that they do so. Good luck with your move and can I ask why you are discontinuing your antidepressants? Families are strange... The people you think would be supportive are often the ones that let us down continually. You have us and we will be praying for you!!!

After having a very traumatic experience in the ER last November, I've had a real fear of seeking medical care. Like, I've had symptoms of PTSD related to the experience. I have nightmares about it several times a week, etc. I've been too afraid to see my psychiatrist since then, who is the one that prescribes my antidepressants. If I can't go see him, I can't get any more refills. The med I'm on has to be discontinued slowly to prevent severe withdrawal symptoms, so I've been slowly cutting it down over the last two months. I'm down to 150 mg from 300 mg right now. I've got enough left to continue cutting it down slowly and I should be off it altogether in about six more weeks.

Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
There is nothing I can add to what has been already posted. There are some very wise women here. But I want you to know I will be thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way constantly. I am deathly afraid of the mammogram. Don't know why. I really get panicky with a doctor visit of any kind so I know just how you feel. Please don't worry till there really is something to worry about. Easier said than done I know but be strong. You are immensely strong. I can tell that just by reading about the life you lead. Strong and always helping others. We will all be waiting for your update. Be tough. (I had a mammogram call back last year. They redid the photo and it turned out they had a wrinkle in the film. A wrinkle of my boob. Scared me to death. Weird things just happen.)
