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?

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 .

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

I was recalled once. All was well
