Mammogram Recall - has this happened to anyone else?

This does seem trivial when I know some people go through a lot of treatment and heartache but I have been recalled after a mammogram and when I received the letter, the blood just drained from me. Has anyone experienced this? I always expect the worst and I know that I should just wait and see what the outcome is, but this is making me really anxious.

  • Welcome to the forum Krissie4katz although I'm sorry for the stress and worry your mammogram recall is causing.

    I hope it helps to know that being recalled is actually quite common. I'm sure some of our members will confirm this when they stop by to share their experiences and advice but if it would help to talk to one of our cancer nurses they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday (except bank holidays) between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease whilst you wait.

    I hope this guide we have on how to cope with waiting for news will help to steady your nerves as well but in the meantime, we're sending you all our support and wishing you all the best with your next mammogram.

    Kind regards,
