Mammogram Recall

I think I can deal with what might be coming my way physically, but mentally is harder. I’ve been blessed by having good health, a good life, good looks and I thought I was immortal. I’ll get my head round it and I didn’t think I was actually this shallow. I hope a poor result will be positive in a way. Has anyone else been shocked? I feel like I’ll be embarrassed by how I look, though when I’m in it I know I’ll feel differently. I’ve had a BCC, which is a bit of a cheat. Any tips on how to make the mental leap necessary? Sorry, bit wordy. Late in the evening. 

  • Hi Sop.mo0,

    I can understand it's difficult to cope with poor results, it might help to talk this through with friends or family or even your doctor, I'm sure they could be a support. Also try to stay from googling, when you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers online, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. 

    Hope this helps,
