Hello and thank you for your post,

Being recalled about a breast screening result I know must be a worry. This does not necessarily mean you have cancer but it does need to be checked out.

In the meantime do try not to look at some of the stories you will see. This is because they can cause someone to worry even more. Try to keep busy with everyday things and focus on something that can take your mind off this like a TV show or film, if you can. Talking to people close could also help.

I hope you hear from the Breast Team soon.

Take care

Hello Yolanda29 and thanks for your further post.

It's good news that the lymph node biopsy was negative.

When lymph nodes appear reactive, it usually means that they are responding to something like an infection, inflammation, or another issue. Breast screening is very thorough and the doctors want to make absolutely sure there's nothing else going on . This is likely why they have recommended a second biopsy just to be on the safe side.

I hope this helps clarify things for you a little more. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
