A number of my friends have had biopsies ordered in recent years after mammograms. Generally larger breasted women. The worst part is the anxiety over the whole thing. In my personal sampling every one of them has come back negative. FWIW, the women that I have known that did have bad results were scheduled because of lumps, not mammo results. I hope they get it done quickly because I know how hard the waiting for results part is.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I had all of that (mammo, biopsy, good results), and the worst part was the cost! The initial mammogram is covered as preventive care, but the rest is diagnostic, so I had to pay. I am still pissed off about that!
I am done- the doctor said it was a really good sign that the module was very mobile. I am going to be pissed about paying, probably too, especially since it was the residents first one! Why do I need to pay be a teaching tool!
Thank you all for being here! I was in a panic!!
I think I ended up paying for two ultrasounds and a follow-up mammogram, for what that's worth.
NB: I realize that is way better than having cancer.

Good news Sophia!
Why can't they just fix some of the problems with Obamacare,
Because what they see as the problems are a)the subsidies, b) the taxes on the wealthy and c) mandating that an insurance policy actually cover something.
Plus Medicaid expansion, etc. So pretty much every part of it that helps people.
I don't even understand the idea of repealing it without a replacement. I mean, I get that it's what they want to do, because they've been harping on it forever. But how do they think it's going to play?
It would be popular, I guess, with people who are paying a penalty for not having insurance. But how could you possibly predict what it would do to costs?
Parties and dancing in the streets because finally they repealed Obamacare. Whee! The level of stupidity is epic.
