My last mammogram 3 years ago was clear. I received a letter back from my lastest mammogram and it requires additional information and have to go to the triple assessment specialist breast clinic. I'm worried sick
Hi - in the same boat. Though this is my first mammogram. I’m imagining the worst, which isn’t like me. I have a week until my breast clinic appointment too so a lot of time to sweat on it.
I can imagine that this is an anxious time for you but try not to overthink it for now. Often women are recalled because an area has been spotted that needs more images. The majority of women recalled don't go on to have cancer but it is important that images of the breast are seen clearly.
Breast Cancer Now has a blog on women being recalled which you might find helpful to read.
I do hope that your appointment goes well.
Try and keep yourself busy and your mind on other things until you know more so you don't dwell on it all too much.
If you want to ring the nurses on the helpline the number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
