I am so thankful that I had the LAP-BAND® and lost the weight -- the mammogram was SO much easier, and maybe the weight loss allowed the reading to be more clear. 8 months ago it showed a small area of calcification that the doctor was 99% sure it was vascular and not in the tissue. This week the films showed the same calcification as clearly not vascular because there was less tissue to get through. Had I had a biopsy in Sept I wouldn't have been allowed to have the LAP-BAND® surgery. I was told that it is still very early and I have excellent chances of it being contained and removed on Monday.
Thanks for your good thoughts. |
