I was at hospital on Monday for an urgent referral. I had an examination, a mammogram and a scan but all was OK.
Try not to worry. I never worry until I get results.
Good luck.

It happened to me too. I had kept assuring myself it would be fine but there was always a little doubt. I was very relieved when I got the all clear.
Good luck.

It happened to me a while ago. Like you I was scared, but it turned out to be fine. The doctor said it was probably caused by a wobble of the mobile unit in which the mammogram was taken. Try not to worry (not easy, I know) and take a book or crossword to the clinic - there’s a lot of hanging around!

I was recalled a couple of checks ago.

Luckily, an appointment was only a few days away, so not too long to fret, which of course you do.

Thankfully, all was well, as was another lady I knew who was also there for a follow up.

Hope all goes well, the majority of recalls turn out ok, and good to know you’re being swiftly monitored.

I had recall I knew it was a scar after having a milk cyst aspirated while breast feeding my daughter. I did inform the staff at the Linda McCartney centre. They did go through the tests they do and confirmed what I had told them.
I am convinced they are being extra vigilant and will put you at ease.

I've been called back twice and it has been calcification spots both times. Very rigorous retesting which put my mind at ease.

Thankyou ladies I think I'm just probably needing reassurance I've always had clear results before and this has made me anxious

Of course you are!
Stats are overwhelmingly on your side, though.

I was recalled once. All was well

Yes. Several times. It was stage one cancer in 2016 and my treatment was swift. Three times since, each time absolutely nothing to worry about. The first pictures just weren’t clear.
The overwhelming likelihood is that it’s nothing to worry about X

Thankyou crazyH for your reassurance I hope so too

My friend was called back because the first mammogram was not very clear, due to a technicality or something like that. I can’t remember. Nevertheless , she was scared. But it all turned out ok.
Hopefully, you will be ok too.
Don’t worry too much - Let us know how you get on .

I had a routine mammogram appointment last week and this morning I got a letter asking me to return for further tests next week.
The letter says I shouldn't automatically assume there's anything to worry about but I can't help wondering what has shown up on the mammogram and am now anxious about it.
Has anyone had this happen to them?
