Had my annual mammogram today. Everything went smoothly and they didn't find anything suspicious looking.

I had a mammogram today.  It went pretty quickly and then the technician said that the doctor was going to look at the scans while I was waiting in case there was something of concern on the scan that they wanted to take another look at.  So after waiting for a few minutes back in the waiting room, the technician came out and said that things looked good and that I could go home.  That was kind of nice - better than the last time when I had to come back a couple of days later to do some rescans.

So I went back into the satellite clinic to take some additional mammogram images.  After having the images done and then meeting with a doctor who did an ultrasound as well, everything appears to be fine and normal, thank goodness.

Today I took the kids to the Tracy Aviary and when we were about to leave to return home I got a call from the nurse at Huntsman saying that there was something slightly abnormal looking on my mammogram screening and they want me to come back in for some follow ups to make sure it is nothing.  Not quite the news I was wanting to hear at this time...

I think I am finally getting a handle on the nausea.  This third medication is definitely helping and I am able to eat again.  This morning I went in for a mammogram.  Nothing really to report there.

Made it to my infusion this morning.  Everything went pretty smoothly and no problems there.  My blood pressure was normal and there were no problems with my port.  The nurse did ask why I cancelled last week and so I told her that we had a stomach bug going around the family.  On my way home I got a call from the nurse that works with my oncologist letting me know that my mammogram came back negative - so that was some good news as well.

Went in for a mammogram today.  I was able to schedule it at the clinic near my house again so it was a pretty quick drive there and then a pretty quick procedure.  My appointment was set for 1:20 and I got there a few minutes early and was out of there by 1:30.  I should get the results from it in a few days.  I always find the paperwork that I have to do a little annoying though.  They should be able to easily look up all of my records up to this point and the fact that I have to fill out info about why I am having the scan done and if anyone in my family has had breast or ovarian cancer seems a little redundant.  There was also no where on there to mark that I have ovarian cancer.  The questionnaire asked if this was a routine scan or a result of some recent breast abnormalities so I marked routine scan - which it is at this point.  I also think they should add a question asking if the person knows if they are BRCA-1 positive or not.
