I had my first mammogram 9 days ago. I received a phone call today from the hospital to attend a second appointment on Tuesday. The nurse I spoke to couldn't tell me too much over the phone . I'm just wondering what to expect?
Welcome to the forum. I had a recall after my first mammogram and had to have more mammograms, a physical breast exam, and an ultrasound. Unfortunately, they had found abnormalities and then underwent biopsies that same day.
There were about 30 in the room that all had been recalled, 3 of us had to have biopsies while the rest got the all-clear.
My sister gets recalled after every mammogram but it's due to shadows that need to be checked out.
Try not to worry as the majority recalled won't have cancer.
I had an routine appointment on the 19th May everything was fine i had no symptoms connected to the breasts and answered all their questions.
A week letter yesterday i received a recall letter to have an assessment i was shocked and my heart was pounding, i couldn't sleep or eat. Im due back on the 9th June for the assessment my partner is coming with me.
All i have been doing is Google search and even feeling and examining my breast to see if i had missed something. The only thing i could feel was a tiny lump just beside my nipple on the right side just very slightly under the skin..which i have to admit i hadnt noticed before...now im Googling little bumps under skin near nipple......

Please don't google, it really won't be of any use to you. and will only increase anxiety. They may be interested in the little lump and want to use a magnified mammogram just to get a better look, which is a good thing. Trust me if there is anything there then you want them to be thorough.
