It took me literally hours today to figure out how to read the mammogram disk from last Thursday, then to find out which of the fifty or more folders and files on the disk had the actual mammo pictures, and then how to copy/print/snapshot them. Finally had to take a screen capture (another hour trying various methods to accomplish that). So, anyhow, here they are. (Just the one orientation - there were several.)
This is the left, the "healthy" one. I kinda wonder about that denser part in the middle....
This is the right, the "bad" one. It's pretty easy to pick out the tumor. This is a little deceptive as to location. It's actually in the lower outer quadrant. They had me twisted funny.
The hollowness just behind the nipple is a cyst. They drained it and checked the fluid, and it's of no further interest.This is the left, the "healthy" one. I kinda wonder about that denser part in the middle....

You notice all the "processes going on" around the tumor? That makes the lump feel much larger than it is (it feels about ping pong ball sized, although the actual tumor is about the width of my thumbnail) and that's the reason lumpectomy will not be acceptable to me. I don't like the looks of that at all.
On to the next steps.
