Mum called back after mammogram

Hi everyone, 

 

my mum recently went for a mammogram and has been called back for a recheck, i have been reading online and only 4 in 100 are actually called back so something has be found im guessing? Shes had no signs or symptoms which i know you dont have to have.

 

Ive got a 4 month old baby girl and the thought of anything happening or seeing my mum sick is knocking me sick its all i can think about - i know there is a good chance its not cancerous but i cant help but fear for the worst. 

 

She hasnt told anyone about this apart from me and i am finding it really hard to cope as i am so worried about her.

 

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Finding it really hard to stay strong in front of my little girl because its just eating away at me. Her follow up appointment is this thursday coming and i will be going with her but until then i feel like i cant think of much else, my mum is 53 i am 25 and she is literally my best friend. Im not able to cope if something isnt right with her.

 

Sorry if it seems over the top - just needed somewhere to vent.

 

Thank you. x

  • Hi,

    Easy for me to say but please try not to worry . My mammogram picked up my cancer straight away and they did the ultrasound and biopsy that same day and told me they were certain it was cancer but had to wait for the biopsy results. It sounds like maybe they could nt get a good enough image of your mum so she may need a new one doing for that reason. Having been through chemo, mastectomy , radiotherapy and now hormone treatment for 5 years, my take is " no point worrying over things we can t control ".

    Hope everything turns out for the best.
