T&P's please. Just found out my mom had abnormal mammogram...

She has to go in for more imaging. I don't know how to feel right now. I'm trying not to worry too much but i'm kind of scared. Is it common to get abnormal results?

It's not common, but it's not uncommon either. It could be a film glitch, a shadow, misread and so many other things.

The best thing you can do is to not react until you have real answers. Don't let "What If" rule your world right now.

Big hugs sweetie, I know how scared you must be.

I'm no doctor, so I can't say either way. But personal experience: My mom got an abnormal result and spend days in bed sobbing. It was absolutely nothing. I know that doesn't mean anything in your situation, but I think just echoing Chatham and try to stay calm until you know for sure for sure. *hugs*

My mom did not have the exact same situation but she had a pretty serious scare a couple of years ago, and so I know how worried you must feel right now. I was going out of my mind with fear.

Take deep breaths, and just hang in there since you don't have any answers yet. I hope it turns out to be no big deal.

Ditto pp. Also, Abnormal =/= cancer. It could be a cyst or something else benign.

That's what her paper said. She got it in a letter, not even a phone call or something. She had to call the number on the paper and leave a message. A MESSAGE for pete's sake. I would be so mad at that alone. I'm just hoping it's nothing or benign.

I'm so terrified that 2011 is going to be a bad year simply because we've been so blessed the last few years. I'm just hoping this turns out fine. Doing my best not to worry or stress but my Mom is my closest friend/confident/everything besides my Dh.

I'll be thinking about ya'll, and I hope it's nothing serious.

I hope everything turns out to be okay.

It is in my family. My mom frequently has them, goes in for biopsies... they're always negative, but it makes me nervous. I'll say a prayer for your mom!

I've had an abnormal one the past two times and its been fibroids/cysts. I've had to go for more imaging both times and I follow up every 6 months. I hope all is fine with your mom and it's nothing serious. The nice thing is they are very thorough and check everything many times! ((Hugs))
