Mammogram

Hi

 

I went for my normal mammogram yesterday, the lady was quite brisk, my Dad has just died, so feeling worse for wear, 

whilst she was doing it she said flippantly, so you got recalled last time? Guess it was all ok though....my head was spinning, I couldn't remember, I said sorry? I don't remember that, she said it must have been fine.....you can dress now and here I am....I didn't get recalled, that was three years ago, I'm alive but..... what can I do, just sit and wait and do nothing, in bits any advice please? 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    I am sorry to hear about your recent bereavement, and can appreciate that this is a difficult time for you.

    I wouldn't over think things, although I know this is easier said than done. All mammograms are checked thoroughly and reported on. You should hear in a week or two's time. Most are fine, sometimes if images are not clear enough, then they will repeat it.

    Try not to worry, and keep yourself busy and occupied. Your grief may be making you more sensitive at the moment, and this can lead to experiencing more anxiety than usual. Try and use the support of friends and family too. 

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
