Thank you for your concern. All is well. There was concern about my left breast (always the one that causes problems) . The angle of the original mammogram was different from previous mammograms and they needed to have a closer look. The hospital machine is able to give a different view, which showed nothing of any concern. The doctor showed me the different mammograms and why they needed to check. She also used the ultra sound to be absolutely sure. It's actually very reassuring that they were being very cautious. I think I shall sleep better tonight!

Just received a letter asking me to go back for another mammogram tomorrow, after a routine mammogram. At least I haven't time to worry. I just hope it has something to do with the machine as it went on strike while xraying my left boob. Trouble is I had arranged to see my parents. They will be worried sick if I tell them why I can't come. My sister died of breast cancer. I need to think of something better than I'm not feeling well. There's no need to worry them unless there's no choice.

I had the same back in March. Was it your first mammogram? It is more common to recall for the first as they have nothing to compare the scan with. Mine was a false alarm. They thought they had found a lump but the 2nd one found nothing. Good Luck!

I've had several mammograms both before age 50 and after, so they had plenty to compare with. I had a breast lump years ago which proved to be benign, plus my sister died of metastatic breast cancer, so I was a bit twitchy, but all is fine. My friend has been recalled 3 times since age 50, for an area of dense tissue. This did put things into perspective. I'm grateful that they are so careful.
