Oh HELL no

[annathepiper]

I just got called by Evergreen. They want me to come in for followup pictures for the left mammogram I just had last week. The scheduling desk doesn’t say why; they don’t have that data. So I’ve had to leave messages with Dr. McMillan’s office as well as Dr. Towbin’s to ask them WTF, as they’re the ones who got the actual report and who would presumably have requested the followup pictures.

It is within the realm of reason that this may just be a scenario of scar tissue on my left side making the scan turn out weird. Or hell, just pictures that got fucked up for some technical reason. I will be focusing on this, because really, seriously, I am not up for Round Three of this shit.

Please to be directing any positive thoughts towards the least annoying scenario here, people. Thank you in advance. I’ll be over here trying not to be stressy and irritable and paranoid until Thursday morning, when I go in for the followup scans.

Oh, lordy. There's got to be a better way to handle the communication chain than this. :\. Doctors....

Here's hoping all's well!

I am sending all the positive energy that I can your way and hoping for it being the fuckup or the scar tissue. Whichever the least annoying scenario is.

Oh yes, and have some hugs. *hugs*

*hugs and vibes* Hopefully they just screwed up the scans!

FUCK no. *crosses fingers*

Oh motherfuckingly shit no.

So sorry...am sending good vibes your way *hugs*

That's a MASSIVE no-no, to request a follow-up test without conveying the reason if it's the patient herself who answers the phone. Please keep us posted!

oh for chrissakes.

Oh, no.

I'm sending tons of positive energy. *hugs*

Capybaras to you, they are good at rooting out scar tissue etc I have heard!

[annathepiper]

To be proper and fair, the initial call was to our home number, and solarbird answered the phone. But the number she was given to relay to me when I called them back myself was just the scheduling desk, and they weren't told why the followup was requested. Hence the need for me to actually call Drs. Towbin and McMillan to see if I could get clarification on what this is about.

More news will come when I have it. Hopefully in a reasonably timely fashion tomorrow morning.

[annathepiper]

Seriously. It would have been to be informed about this directly and given a reason why, as opposed to 'we need you in for a followup'. AIGH.

Thanks much.

[annathepiper]

Thanks much. *snugs*

I suppose I would be less annoyed by just scar tissue making weird patterns in the pics or something than I would be by the initial round of pics being screwed up. At least in the former scenario, there's no actual screwup involved.

[annathepiper]

*hugs back* Thanks. Here's hoping.

[annathepiper]

Indeed. 2009 had damn well better not do this to me. I've only just now started building back my reserve of Cope.

[annathepiper]

Indeed. Just, no.

I'll keep more creative swearing in reserve pending whatever they tell me on Thursday.

[annathepiper]

*hugs back* Thanks. Hopefully this'll be nothing.

[annathepiper]

To say the least. >:| WAY TO MAKE ME NERVOUS THERE, PEOPLE!

[annathepiper]

Thank you very much. *snugs*

[annathepiper]

*giggle* Thank you. I think. ;)

::sending all positive thoughts that you have absolutely nothing wrong w/you and that it was some sort of photo glitch::

Seriously, every possible set of best wishes.

I hate when they do that! You're like, can I prove I'm me over the phone?

Thinking good thoughts for you.

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

I've had to go back several times because I moved and it came out blurry. I bet that's what happened with yours.

I am sending you all the positive energy I have!

::HUGS::

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
