Hi,

A very warm welcome to our forum. 

Many people get recalled after their first mammogram, because there are no previous mammograms to compare with. I expect that they have called you back to see if there are any changes in 6 weeks. Try not to worry about this, as this is a common occurrence. 

Here's hoping that all still looks benign when you go back and you can stop worrying. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi jolamine 

thanks for the reply, my concern is that if they saw calcification why didn't they do a biopsy I went a one stop clinic and was told if they found something they would biopsy it? Why wait 6 weeks? 
thanks for you help I really appreciate it x

Hi Chrisj,

We can only surmise as to why they decided not to do a biopsy. This is possibly because many calcifications are pre-cancerous, in which case treatment will depend upon the extent of the calcification. Occasionally an invasive cancer can be found within an area of calcification and it looks as if they are checking for any changes within 6 weeks. Here's hoping that they don't find any further changes.

Kind regards,
