Mammogram recall

Good luck! ?

Hi thinking of you today and know how you are feeling. I had exactly the same experience as Florentyna but all was fine in the end. Good luck x

Thank you but difficult morning - Pauline x

I was where you are yesterday....scan for something else but totally petrified. Everything was fine though. I know exactly how you feel today. Hug on it's way.....

Three years ago I had a recall which proved to be calcification due to old age! !! I was absolutely terrified and googled every article I could find which only only served to convince me that I was on death row!! The relief when it was ok was unimaginable! even the reference to age was gratefully received!! Try not to worry, it is very scary, but nearly always the result is positive. (hugs)

II hope all is fine for you eniluap I found a lump some years ago and was in a state of terrified panic for a week while I waited for an appointment so I know
the fear as many others have said. Mine proved to be a cyst luckily.

That was the longest day ever! All good now thank goodness. Was told my recall was for a small spot above the nipple which the radiographer marked with 3 crosses! After 3 hours in breast screening, about 10 mammograms from every angle imaginable, then an ultra sound with two lovely doctors who eventually told me that it was nothing to worry about as it was just thickening breast tissue and calcification (and yes nigglenellie old age was mentioned!). No biopsy needed so I am one of the lucky ones. They said they were sorry for what must have been an anxious wait for the result! How nice was that.
Thank you everyone for your positive responses to my first message, they really helped to get me through. Celebrated at the hospital cafe with a cup of tea and the best tasting chocolate muffin ever!
Much love to everyone - Pauline x (flowers)

That is splendid news. I too once had a calcified breast lump and lots of to-ing and fro-ing with the results being sent to a centre of excellence (?where - can't remember!) to be reported on - all this took several weeks and I was fairly hysterical by that time! But isn't it great when the news is good? Big sighs of relief!! Hooray for you!

So pleased for you. It's what we all dread so I'm delighted that there is nothing to worry about.

Great news!

Tegan, so pleased that your investigations showed nothing worrying. I have been wondering if you had been seen.

So for you!

That's good Pauline, and all the positive responses on here should help to allay others' fears, at least to know that more often than not it's nothing to worry about. Bet you enjoyed that cup of tea. ?

Good news for you too, Tegan

Try not to worry, I am sure you will be ok.XX

Sleep well tonight Pauline.

Thank you - yes hopefully it will help others who come on here with the same anxieties I had. Pleased your scan was good as well Tegan. Yes 'mumofmadboys' will sleep the best sleep for 6 nights! X

I am so pleased for you eniluap I have been watching this thread and have had everything crossed for you. I bet you will wake in the morning and for a split second realise that all is well and grin!

It is the best if news.

Great news!

I have a question, - so to avoid all the anxiety, why can't the radiographer tell you that there is a small spot right there and then on day one, and immediately send you round to the ultra-sound department as a matter of course? As it is, you have to wait for the result, then wait again for a follow-up appointment, all causing great anxiety.

I think that they have to leave it to the consultant, as after breast cancer you have frequent mammograms, and I know the radiographer knows what he/she is looking at, but would never tell me. I know that because one of them hinted that all was well after one.

With regard to calcium, I had a look at the X-rays when in with the consultant and there was this round white spot about the size of a finger nail. He didn't mention it and I grew more alarmed as I couldn't understand how he could miss it!!! In the end I asked and he said Oh that's just blahdeblah ( meaning a calcium thing) he didn't make anything of it at all.

Wonderful. news Eniluap. I've been thinking about you today. Enjoy your evening and sleep well tonight.

So pleased for you. I can only imagine your relief. Definitely cloud 9.

Good news indeed. I know how horrible the wait for results is. I'm glad it was nothing to be concerned about. ??

So pleased to hear this; have been thinking of you all day. I now have to keep my promise to the S.O. which is to never ever consult Dr Google ever again!
