So... just had my mammogram and things weren't as clear as one would hope. Apparently, I have some calcification which they would like to keep an eye on. The radiologist says this is typical for post-radiation. So, the girls are gettin' squished again in 6 months.
BTW- Mammograms are NOT that big of a deal, by the way. If you're holding out on getting yours because you think it's painful, I'm here to tell you... it's not. Mammos save lives.

I don't think I know anyone who went through radiation (me included) who hasn't had calcification or something that they want to watch. Personally, I like that someone's going to be checking the situation every 6 months.
