Hi I'm a bit worried as I have yearly  mammograms as my risk is  slightly high I had one last year and had another five days ago today I received a letter for a second appointment for more tests , I know it may be nothing but I am so worried as what it could be . I don't know why I am writing this as I do know it may not be but just want to know if I'm over reacting as I cannot get it out my head. Thank you for reading 

  • Hi Scooby73

    It's understandable that you're feeling worried about being recalled following a mammogram. There could be a number of reasons for the recall and as you say not necessarily anything serious. 
    You might find it helpful to read this blog on the Breast Cancer Now website. 

    I know we've had a number of ladies here who've been recalled after a mammogram and hopefully some of them will pop by and post. If you'd like to speak to one of our team of nurses about your concerns then you can call them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm). 

    Do let us know how you get on at your appointment. 

    Best wishes,
