Hello Bubbles

 I perfectly understand how you must be feeling. It is very scary and I think they should revise the way they word a recall. But sometimes it is just that the images are unclear and need redoing. Even if it turns out that they have seen something that need investigating it is a good thing it's been found now. I wish you all best wishes and stay positive.  Jan 

Interestingly I’ve had ongoing left chest wall pain for a while :(

No I didn't have any indication other than what mammogram apparently showed up. It was very small. I.m doing fine with yearly mammograms for 5 years. 

Glad to hear that JanKay x

Hi I hope you don’t mind me joining your chat. I had a recall and then another mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy. I’m going back on Thursday for my results. I’m terrified of the results 

Whatever the results are. Help is there for you and every reassurance that you need will be available. Please try to stay calm. Everything will be fine. Best wishes.

Hi Bubbles,

A very warm welcome to the forum.

I am sorry to hear about your mammogram recall. More people are recalled after their first mammogram than any other. This is because there are no previous mammograms to compare the findings with. Sometimes the recall can be for something simple like not getting a clear enough image. I had a recall after one of my mammograms, but fortunately, they were happy with the repeat and I was discharged.

Several years on from that, I have now had 2 diagnoses of breast cancer within a year and had a lumpectomy, followed by a double mastectomy. It is now 16 years since I was diagnosed and I still lead a busy and fulfilling life. I hope that all turns out well for you on Wednesday. If not, I want to reassure you that, what lies ahead may be challenging, but it is all perfectly "doable". Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

I really hope it’s ok H20 let us know 

Thank you so much Jolamine, I’m sorry you’ve been through so much but it’s fantastic to hear you are well now. It’s so worrying all of this x

Thank you, I will. I was very anxious this morning as I have suffered with health anxiety for many years and obviously this has come out of the blue.

Hi Bubbles, 

Most of us would agree that this is one of the most worrying stages of our cancer journey. Irrespective of the results you'll feel better once you know the result of Wednesday's appointment.

I'm keeping everything crossed for you!

Kind regards,
