How is it that they sent me a letter today reminding me that my mammogram is due now???

And that my last one was 8/5/10 and they have immediate openings.

This is the SAME place---for years--- that I had all of my diagnostic mammos, MRI's, and breast ultrasounds....

My mastectomy was in 2008.

Maybe they confused me with someone else??? Whatever, it did upset me.

    I would be a bit disgusted
    I would be a bit disgusted too. I don't know if all your medical records electronic like my clinic but for awhile when I would see my family doctor I would get print outs giving me bp, weight, etc. It also includes date of tests etc given and when I am do. For about a month it kept saying my mammagram was due this fall, which I don't need cuz I had a double mastectomy. I just laughed and blew it off. I did notice that at the last hand out given, mammograms were listed as not applicable.

    I'm confluzzled
    You had a mastectomy and the last mammo a year ago? I was DX'd in Aug 09 - had a mast. in Oct '09, had annual mammo last Aug 10, and yesterday had this year's mammo. So it's a year since last one - it's time for another one.

    To err is human
    to really screw up requires a computer!

    I hope you gaave them a call and asked them to update your file or straighten out the mix-up.

    turns out...
    They worked me in this morning for an ultrasound of my right axillary and chest, because my oncol found a palpable mass.

    Somehow, I didn't even know my oncologist ordered it until they called and said they never got the results!!

    I guess it does pay to have another set of ears go with you to an appt.!
