long story short: i went for my repeat mammogram today. it was an ultrasound, requested by the original technician after i indicated i noticed some minor changes in my breast. (the changes were so minor that i didn’t even remember much about the conversation.) they didn’t see anything; all is well.

i did, however, give the doctor an earful about letting people know why they are called back and not leaving them in a swirl of suspense. if someone would have only told me why i was coming back, i would not have lost years of my life in worry. he was extremely apologetic and will talk to folks about this.

one less thing to worry about, in any case.
