mammogram recall

Hello Simba

try not to worry too much, sometimes the xrays are not clear and they may call you back to get clearer images ..

if the xray was fine to start with then surely if it was something of real concern your doctor would be calling you ... Maybe ..

i have heard before of some ladies going back / recalled due to need clearer images, as maybe the others were not as good as they could be.

try not to worry, i understand your worry though..

try and keep positive 

good luck simbatipps

I am a breast cancer survivor just very fortunate but I assure you that not all recalls lead to that.  I have been recalled a number of times and in my case it has been what they call a floating lymph node and nothing to worry about or mostly it is a cyst as it was with you.

I also have heard that a loss of weight can be a factor.

I live in Canada and have yearky mammos maybe because I did have breast cancer.  But if ever they find something suspicious and they check it out and the result is that everything is ok....I still insist on having it checked again in 6 months time.  You have to be your own advocate. 

Best wishes.

 

I had exactly the same at age 55. Its a time when our breast tissue changes and they recall just to make sure. My sister had the same experience also.

It's a terribly frightening wait i know and i was a ball of nerves by the time i was through but mine and my sisters came through ok so i am wishing the same for you.

I think I read somewhere that nine out of ten people recalled are OK as either the mammogram was not done properly, they think they see something and it is nothing etc. etc.
