I had the films taken and it turns out they don't read them right away any more. Huh. It's been 3 or so years, but I could have sworn...
Anyway, they will call if they "need more films". I will get a letter in 5 - 7 days with the results. Thanks and have a nice day.
It's a good thing in the long run. I have been trying to decide for far too long if I should get myself into a high risk program and now I've decided once and for all. Yes, I am going. I will talk to them and know what my risks and options really are and go from there. And I bet they will read my films right away.
No news is good news I've decided. Happy weekend!
Posted by grrlTravels at April 4, 2008 2:31 PMI have been praying for you today. I have nothing but positive things to say about the high risk program at UVA. I feel like they are right on top of every aspect, including the genetic counseling. I think you will be happy with your decision. They have caught several things with the MRI that have not shown up on the mammogram. I think it will put your mind at ease.

Posted by: Debberoo at April 4, 2008 8:33 PMWow. That is scary -- feeling like you've got a genetic sword of damocles hanging over your head. I like what dana said, though, about how getting into a high risk program can help you feel you've got a handle on it.

Posted by: kris at April 4, 2008 10:30 PMThinking of you. I hate scary tests, but I'm glad you did it.
Posted by: Katie J at April 6, 2008 3:45 PMKeeping my fingers crossed for you. Excellent about deciding to go to the high risk program.
