Last night when I collected our mail, I noticed an envelope from my radiologist's office. At first I thought it was yet another bill, but I haven't seen him since last August, so that wasn't likely. Now I wish it was a bill.
It was a reminder letter for a follow-up mammogram and ultrasound on the biopsy I had at the end of August. The same biopsy that led my radiologist to recommend the bilateral mastectomy!
So, this morning, I had to call the radiologist's office to explain that I'd like them to correct my records because the breast they want to examine no longer exists! The receptionist I spoke to was very nice, and she even admitted that there is a note in my file that the radiologist had made the recommendation and that they should check with the surgeon before sending a follow-up notice (oops).
I told her I'd appreciate not getting these any more, as this is a pretty humiliating call to have to make. She agreed and promised to fix my chart. I'll believe it in six months when I DON'T get a reminder letter!
