Recalled after mammogram

Hello,

ive been thinking about posting for the last few days I had my first mammogram on Friday and had a letter on Wednesday for an X-ray and scan on my right breast with a possible biopsy tomorrow.  

I am 30 and I lost my mum to secondary cancer when I was 11, she initially had it in the breast, she was diagnosed at 30 and suffered for 8 years with multiple secondary cancers. This has just added to my worry as I have two young children the same age as me and my sister where when my mum was diagnosed. I feeling sick with worry and can’t stop crying, I’m trying to stay positive but I just think with my history it’s added to my worry. 

  • Hi Beth ..

    Your mum had her cancer a long time ago .. treatments have come a long way now .. there's lots of us breast lasses on here and all different stages and treatments... but so far not lost any I came on here with in 2017 ... lots have gone back to their "new normal life" post cancer  ...

    So yea it's really scary, we all feel that .. and the waiting at the begining is the hardest ..cancer wants us to lay down and never get up... well get those feelings out... then get your vertual boxing gloves and get in the ring ready to kick it's butt ... there's loads of us there .. and when one gets knocked down, we all get together and hold that one up .. 

    Sending you a vertual hug... Chrissie x
