First mammogram recall

Any advice ?

50 yrs old, went for first mammogram and received a recall letter in less than a week.

Have no lumps / symptoms I am aware of

Called the assessment clinic spoke to the nurse, was told area of concern in right breast, she mentioned could be a cyst

I assume from this comment, there is a mass that needs to be tested ?

  • Hello, and thank you for posting. 

    I am sorry that this has caused you concern, but be reassured it is not unusual to be recalled for your mammogram, particularly when it is your first.

    I have placed a link here explaining mammogram recall from the Breast Cancer Now website. And as you say, if there might be a cyst, they may want a closer look.

    Take care and hopefully you will know more soon.
