[quote=Anonymous]I think traumatized is probably a strong word to use for a callback which isn’t that uncommon but having by age 33 had TWO biopsies on the same lump and been told all kinds of worrisome things about how it looked including scanning my ancillary lymph nodes during the ultrasound, I will say I am no stranger to the health anxiety these episodes caused. Just the idea of going in for routine mammograms when they start at age 40 (I’m 37 now) gives me anxiety because I worry they’re going to yet again say something should be biopsied and put me in a “waiting to see if the call says cancer” spiral. The over screening and resulting stress they cause isn’t negligible. [/quote]
