The next day I got a message from the breast center that my mammogram results came back abnormal. I needed to go in for additional imaging. Some how I got the impression that it was something they usually do for women who get their images done for the first time at the center. I also have dense breasts, which could also explain the additional imaging. My view on corporate greed in America was also such that I wondered if they were just trying to make more money off of additional imaging by keeping thresholds low. After all, my mammogram the previous year was normal, and I was fairly healthy. At this point I was like, "No way. I don't have cancer." But, somewhere in the back of my mind I knew something was wrong. 1.2 cm potentially spiculated mass right breast. I didn't like the sound of that.
