(16,846 posts)70. Deb, I wish you the very best!
First of all, you will be in my prayers. That is my practice.
Second, I've been through the callback process, etc., and it is nerve wracking. So don't beat yourself up for being scared. It's normal to be concerned. My own situation turned out to be a stable mass that was monitored for a period of time and determined to be unremarkable.
You already know that you were doing the sensible and RIGHT thing for yourself by going for the mammogram in the first place. So give yourself some grace for doing that. If there is something (and I pray there is not!), then you will have caught it early.
I will remember to pray for you early tomorrow morning.
