What to Expect After a Mammogram
Once you have had your mammogram, it is natural to wonder about the next steps and book an appointment. Here is what to expect:
- Receiving Your Results: The mammogram results will be reviewed by a radiologist, and you will receive a report within days. If the results are normal, you will be advised to continue with your regular breast cancer screenings.
- Follow-Up Diagnostic Imaging: If your mammogram shows any areas of concern, the clinic may recommend additional diagnostic imaging such as ultrasound or MRI to gather more information. These tests help provide a clearer picture and guide the next steps.
- Referral to Specialists: Should further evaluation be necessary, our team will refer you to specialists, such as a breast surgeon or oncologist, who can provide expert advice on treatment options if cancer is suspected.
- Breast Health Counseling: In addition to medical care, we offer breast health counseling to discuss risk factors, lifestyle changes, and the emotional impact of screening results. This holistic approach ensures physical and emotional support.
Managing Side Effects of Breast Cancer Treatment
For women undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or other breast cancer treatments, side effects like fatigue, nausea, and infections can make the journey challenging. At Apex Urgent Care Clinic, we provide timely relief and ongoing care to help manage these symptoms:
- Fatigue Management: Our team offers solutions to combat treatment-related fatigue, such as hydration therapy, vitamin infusions, and advice on energy conservation strategies.
- Nausea Relief: Chemotherapy and radiation often cause nausea. We can prescribe anti-nausea medications or recommend alternative therapies to ease discomfort.
- Infection Treatment: Cancer treatments can weaken the immune system, increasing the risk of infections. Our clinic is equipped to diagnose and treat infections quickly, preventing complications and ensuring your safety.
