Recall after 2nd Post Cancer Mammogram

Public Archive

I was diagnosed with a really small (4mm) cancer in 2016 that was triple negative, the lymph nodes were checked and were all clear.  I had a lumpectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

 

My first year post treatment mammogram came back clear, But a week and a half after my 2nd year mammogram and  I’ve just received the letter asking me to come back in.  I haven’t been able to get hold of my BCN, but I’m feeling really down hearted that I went through all that treatment for nothing because in all likelihood it’s back.

 

My family are telling me to keep positive, but it’s so hard.  Has anyone else been called backed like this?

Hi Chrystal Tips,

Yes, there are others here who have been recalled after follow-up mammos & from what I’ve seen here, it usually isn’t a recurrance, but tends to be scar tissue.

Hopefully all will be well.

I have had recall after first mammo post op, its so scary. I got letter yesterday it was dated day after mammo so really quick but I have to wait two weeks for appointment on 22nd, I will be a wreck by the time I go. The letter says they want to do right side paddle view & ultrasound. I spoke to bc nurse who says it looks like a 6cm lesion /a line so it could be a crease when they were compressing & they want to check that area again, sounds ok news but I’m having trouble convincing myself that’s possible. I have spent half an hour looking to see if I have creases, feel a bit silly and my husband is so upset, I know it’s because he cares but it’s not helping me at all! Gail x

I am so pleased for you helen - i wish they would put more in the letters too. I am fairly convinced mine will be the same. I am just keeping myself Megga busy. I am sat waiting for hospital to call so I can pick up up my sister after her op. It’s now 7:30 & they are saying she’s still in theatre process. Not too long now I hope. Xx

Hi ladies great news yesterday - all clear. Was just some water that isn’t moving because they took a couple of lymph nodes last year. Phew can’t tell you how relieved I was yesterday. My sister seems to be doing well after her op so all good this week, great news for us all. Xx
