Recall mammogram

I had a mammogram on Monday and have been recalled for a further mammogram next week. I have a frozen shoulder and it was a struggle to do the right breast. Could this be why I’ve been recalled. I have no lumps, pain or changes to my breasts. Very anxious and scared.

  • Hi Julie-there are all sorts of reasons you can be recalled following a mammogram- the majority of which are not cancer.  I was recalled in the summer &, like you, was very anxious & scared.  I, also, had no lumps, pain or changes.  I got my results on the same day following another mammogram & ultrasound.  No cancer- nothing of concern just a tiny pimple/spot on the outside of my right breast which was ‘the change’ from my mammogram 3 years earlier & the reason for recall.  It’s good that you have another appointment next week when, hopefully, your mind will be put at rest.  Let us know how you get on. Take care xx
