Hi!

I am in a similar situation. With me I was referred to breast clinic for nipple discharge. Had a mammogram and found calcifications. They said wanted to see me again in 8 weeks which was actually 6 and was then sent an appointment for a stereotactic biopsy which I had on Monday.

I think they probably check calcifications again to rule out anything nasty but if you were told benign they are likely just being thorough.

I know it's very hard not to stress out and worry. I really hope you have good news when you go for your follow up.

I'm 43 and it was my first mammogram too

Hi PositiveT,

As I said to Charlsj, it is fairly common to be called back after a first mammomram, as there are no previous mammograms to compare to. Did they say when your results will be back? I do hope that they come through soon and, that all is well.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Thank you.

I have actually just had a call cancelling my appointment on Monday because results won't be ready and re-arranging for next Friday - so a few extra days to wait.

Thats so dissapointing for you, every day seems like an age.  

I guess after waiting for 6 weeks you have learned to cope to some degree. I am on day one and have no idea how I'm going to go through 6 weeks like this. How are you feeling about it all? x

Hi Positive T,

I am so sorry to hear that your appointment has had to be deferred, giving you a few more days of worry.

Please keep in contact.

Kind regards,

Morning!

I guess you do get used to the waiting - having said that I had a little wobble last night - but feeling better this morning.

Best advice I can give is to keep busy, try to distract yourself as much as possible - I think I pretty much managed to put it all to the back of my mind at times then it pops back in! Sneaky!!!

Hang in there and look after yourself x
