Very disturbing coincidences.

I got a routine mammogram done last Fri. 11/25/16. I was just due for one. At the hospital where I got it done the radiologist usually tells you immediately if they found anything. This time because of lack of radiologist I was told they'd send the results in the mail Okay its Monday and I didn't expect the snail mail this soon.
I usually, if not always worry about medical test results. I suspect it started around 20 years ago when my pap smear result was severe cervical dysplasia. The more severe , the closer to cancer. 3 cone biopsies, DES Daughter.
No history of breast cancer in my family OTOH I am an Ashkenazic Jew and this is a risk factor. Checked with my primary on this.
I saw today two things that really disturbed me. I saw a man with a leather jacket that said "murder by death" and on a pole it said Dracula vs ? It said something like I'm enjoying myself I'm dead." Intellectually I realize these are
just coincidences but they sure gave me the willies. Please wish me well.

Maybe this will help place your mind elsewhere...

The story is told of a chassidic rebbe who took an apple in his hand, and his student took an apple as well. Each of the men said a Bracha and began to eat. When they were finished, the rebbe said to his student:

"Do you know the difference between you and me? You were hungry and wanted to eat an apple. But to do so, you first needed to say a Bracha. In my case, I looked around at the beauty of our world and desperately wanted to call out in praise of God. Since our Sages made Brachot the context to praise God, I needed to take an apple. In other words, you said a Bracha to eat the apple, and I ate the apple to say a Bracha!"

Fingers crossed for you.

Snail mail is a pain. No news is good news. Wishing you the very best.

The fact that you have been having these tests on on a regular basis means that you have the very best chance of being on top of things right from the start.

i know what you mean about waiting for results. I had 2 colonoscopies and a mamogram in the past two months but got the results right away. i am thankful for that. i also have to go next monday to get a polyp removed on my head. i hope it isn't cancerous.I also have back surgery coming up too. Boy, these health problems are driving me crazy.

Something similar happened to me one time when I had my mammogram. And everything turned out fine. You will be in my thoughts....I am sure everything is a-ok!
