Been called back for second mammogram and ultrasound

I had a mammogram done 2 weeks ago and have been called back for another one and an ultrasound with the consultant next week. They said that there were changes from my last mammogram 2.5 years ago. I haven't noticed any physical changes or lumps but am now imagining feeling lots of things. My last mammogram was at the start of my cycle, this was mid cycle. Does that make a difference? I've gained some weight since the last one, could that account for it? I'm struggling to sleep or focus on anything at the moment. 

  • Hi Sweedie71

    I understand how worrying this may be for you but changes doesn't mean cancer, it could be that they just want a better look at whatever these changes may be. When I was recalled there were about 20 other women who had also been recalled and out of those 3 of us went on to have biopsies, the others got the all clear. Try not to worry and keep youself busy until your next appointment.

    Hi sweedie,

    Welcome to our forum. I am so sorry to hear of your worries about the recall after your mammogram.

    This happened to me once too. The reason for the recall was just because the image they got first time around was not clear enough. They told me that there were changes too, but it all turned out to be due to a poor image. I was fortunate that they didn't find anything and, I hope that you will be too.

    I hope that your appointment comes through soon, as I know what a worrying time this can be. Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • This happened to my friend last week.

    She got a letter friday telling her to go back monday.

    She had the worst weekend ever worrying.

    All turned out well but they have to double check.

    Hope you are ok too.

  • Hi I have been for my recall appointment today I was very much like you could not feel anything or felt different but as soon as I got the letter to go back doctor google started and I think I had every symptom out there. I can't say to you don't worry as I know myself was not so much the worry it was the not knowing, so I have yearly mammograms and I have got the all clear and I have a 8 mm cyst . I felt like a weight had been lifted the clinic was very busy but like other people say lots of people do get recalled and most are fine . I hope this has put you a little  at ease  and I wish you luck and let me know how it goes fingers and toes crossed for you x
