In new and different way. <BR/><BR/>Here's hoping for a very boring letter in the promised two weeks.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745262857388007041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10566741.post-17800679204741619812008-04-20T07:37:00.000-07:002008-04-20T07:37:00.000-07:00For whatever comfort it's worth I've had a number ...For whatever comfort it's worth I've had a number of mammograms where there was a potential problem and they've ALWAYS called me back while I was still there to take more images or do an ultrasound. That doesn't dispell your entirely sensible reasons for worrying about it but my experience has been that if there is trouble they usually clue you while you're still there.painting with firehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578014572547587329noreply@blogger.com
