Broken Mammo Machine!

So this morning at 9am I had my first full mammo after my diagnosis a year ago. I didn't think I was too worried except that I didn't sleep well. When I got there, I was told that the machine was broken and I would need to reschedule. I hate having to have these tests! They hurt and fill me with anxiety. Now I have to wait until Friday. I'm hoping they will read it while I wait otherwise I won't know until the following week.

    Well that sucked! I am
    Well that sucked! I am sorry Roseann. I understand the anxiety that builds up when we have our mammograms. Can you call and make sure that they will read your test on the same day? I would, just to find out and perhaps relieve some of the stress.

    Good luck to you! Praying for a clear mammo for you!
