Mammogram recall

I was recalled for a mammo. I did have BC 12 yrs ago. I am worried

  • Hello and thank you for your post.

    I can appreciate that being recalled after having a mammogram is a worry, but this does not necessarily mean you have cancer. Even if you have had breast cancer in the past.

    While I cannot tell you why you have been recalled, there are a number of reasons why this happens and most people will not have cancer.  However, if there is a concern that someone could have cancer then they will be referred to the breast clinic to have further tests and investigations. 

    Waiting for scans to be done can be worrying so I hope you have some support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline
