I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma 3 years ago and have been having CT scans every six months. In the findings, they have noted "bilateral gynecomastia" every time. Just had one this week, and the radiologist put in a request that I schedule a screening mammogram. CT results didn't show any active disease. I'm meeting with my oncologist this week; hoping to get questions answered. Thoughts, anyone?

Always good to establish a baseline for future tests to be compared against shoulder circumstances change.

Gotta take care of yourself! A mammogram is a good idea, especially if your radiologist recommends it.

I'm surprised someone in the loop did not order a biopsy. OUCH, I don't want to do THAT again!

Turns out the mammogram order was made in error. Doc's office had no explanation, but said never mind, not needed.
