Hi
Thanks for your post asking for more information following results from a mammogram.
We are unable to comment on an individual report, either imaging or pathology and would suggest talking about this to the team you are under at the breast clinic. They will be able to explain what the report means in the context of your individual situation.
However, it is possible that ‘not dx abnormal mammogram’ refers to a non-diagnostic abnormal mammogram. The term scattered fibroglandular density refers to having a mix of dense and fatty tissue. It is a noncancerous condition that can cause lumps in the breasts and does not usually require treatment.
You may not need further tests, but in some situations, they may be requested. You can also talk to your GP to see if they can go through the report with you. Being called back for further tests doesn’t necessarily mean you have anything wrong, just that more tests are needed.
It can be difficult waiting to understand more about results and coping with uncertainty. Do call our helpline if you would like to talk this through or have any further questions. The helpline team have time to listen, talk things through and signpost you to more support and information if necessary. Your call will be confidential, and the number is free from UK landlines and all mobile networks. The number is 0808 800 6000, (Relay UK -prefix 18001).
If you would prefer one of our nurses to call you. To do this, please complete this form ticking the box agreeing to a call back.
Our usual opening hours are Monday to Friday 9am - 4pm and 9am -1pm on Saturday.
Out of hours you can leave a message and we will call you back when we next open.
Best wishes
