Recall after mammogram

Hi, 

I received a recall letter after my first mammogram. I'm really worried as my mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at 50 and passed away at 56 when it came back in other breast.

Appointment is only a few days away but can't stop thinking about it. 

Thanks. 

  • Hi Celticghirl, 

    Welcome to the forum.  Being recalled after a mammogram can be a very anxious time. Given that your Mum had breast cancer it's even more undertsndable that you're feeling as you are. 

    There's some helpful information on the Breast Cancer Care website about being recalled. I think that you might find it helpful and reassuring to have a read through so I've linked it for you here

    If you'd like to talk to one of our team of nurses about your concerns then plese do give them a call. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040 and I'm sure that they'll be able to offer some information and support. 

    I hope that your appointment goes well. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
