Recall mammogram

Hi, I have been reading other posts and feel more reassured but still apprehensive. 
 

I am 42 and adopted and found out years ago when searching for birth family that there is a family history of BC. I eventually went to go and I was then referred for 2 yearly mammograms until 40 and then yearly from then. 

I had my yearly mammogram yesterday and I got called this morning to attend on Monday for a recall mammogram and ultrasound at one of the bigger hospitals near where I live. I have been shocked as I really did not expect to be recalled. 

  • Hello Dizzimaid 

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been recalled following your most recent mammogram. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about what this may mean. Hopefully, your appointment on Monday will give you some reassurance about things. 

    If you want to chat with our nurses at any point you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. Or alternatively, the Breast Cancer Now nurse team is also available on a Saturday morning. 

    Do let us know how you get on at the appointment. 

    Best wishes,
