don't panic just because the dr does , this is what I tell everyone
About 10 yrs ago they found "something" on my mamogram (my first)e.My dr was on vacation, I get a call from the dr covering him.
this is how the call went
Me: Hello
Him: this is dr so and so ,
You have breast cancer find a surgeon do not wait, do it today!
Me: OK don't you have to do a biopsy or something? (My sister had a tumor) it was benign
Him: Just find a surgeon NOW!
So I called and got a surgeon. They did a biopsy it was benign and now that they're thinking about it could be a weird in the wrong place lymph node and could have had it my whole life
but I do have a tumor in the other breast. Benign also. We are watching them anyway closely
Found out later poor dr so and so had just lost his wife to cancer and he should have taken some time for himself
Needless to say this put my DH and DD through the emotional roller coaster for several months

Good luck, I'll light a candle for you tonight

Seven or eight years ago I went to my doc for a physical. She's a good doc who works with the UF college of medicine.

As a part of the interview I told her that I had the occasional tingling in my right arm down to my fingertips that I thought was caused by the way I rested my mouse moving arm across the edge of the desk in a way that would likely press on the nerve. She said that might be the case but wanted to do an EKG as a precaution. Well, OK, she's the doc so they wired me up. They ran off a few strips which she then read and said "there's something abnormal here. I'd like you to do a nuclear cardiac stress test."

That sounded ominous, but better to know than to not so I made an appointment. It's a two day procedure. The second day involves walking/running a treadmill to get my heart rate up to where they want it after injecting the radioactive dye. Wasn't too bad at first but to get my pulse rate to where it needed to be at the end there it was like running the steps at the stadium! I finally managed it and they put me under the camera sensor and took their readings. They got everything they needed and the doc that interprets the results looked at them. His verdict? "I can't find anything wrong with you. I don't know why she sent you here."

The next time I saw my doc I said that if it meant running up the side of the mountain on that treadmill again I'd just as soon have the heart attack!
 
Hey deb, well you know my take on doctors. I just went through my own course in medical hell the past 6 months because of these stupid tests. Easier said than done but try to relax. I think half the time they are just trying to keep the scare up so we go on a diet. Well thats my personal theory anyway. I'll be praying for you. hugs
