HI Marina. First of all try not to worry - 1 in 4 women get a recall for all sorts of reasons. Ring the clinic in advance if you have any questions regarding the nature of your recall. 

I had the same experience in January this year- routine mamogram, fit and healthy 54 yr old, felt nothing - and I check regularly.  I had a recall to hospital to the assessment unit. Met by a very kind breast nurse who explained there was a area of concern-  she held my hand ( literally) through a repeat mammogram on my left breast , ultrasound and biopsy under local anesthetic. I was absolutely petrified, shaking and so scared. It was all so unexpected. The consultant was honest with me at this appointment and said it looked like a small cancer in a milk duct. It was under my nipple so I would never have felt it. She assured me it was very early stage and completely treatable. Still ...you worry. 2 weeks later results - small ductal cancer in situ ( didnt look like it had spread- very early stage and estrogen dependant)  

So i am 4 weeks post surgery and had my results this week. I had a wire guided proceedure with sentinal node biopsy. Proceedure lasts about an hour in day surgery. Small 1.5 cm tumour in a milk duct under nipple completely gone! Good margin and no other cancer cells found there or in lymph. I will have radiotherapy  in a month or so with estrogen blockers to follow. Early diagnosis means they can get rid of the cancer and the follow up belt and braces ( as they call it)  to ensures it stays away! I didnt think I could get through it but i have- the breast team at my local hospital were amazing, so kind and compassionate. The breast nurse team are always there to answer any questions. Try not to worry - I am on the other side and I have made it! So gratefull it was picked up early! You will be ok!!! :) xxxxx

Hey Marina,

Just take it a step at a time. I pray that all is clear and they are just being cautious. If not then you will have all the support to lean on - try not to over read- your imagination will run away with you - as mine did! Good luck!!! xxxxx
