Recall appt on friday

Have I got breast cancer? Breast awareness, signs and symptoms
1

Hi

I’ve been recalled to the breast clinic after my mammogram. Today I phoned to confirm my appt as asked to do so and the receptionist asked me if I had any questions. So naturally I said I’d like to know why I’ve been recalled so she said she’d get a nurse to call me back. The advanced practitioner duly phoned and told me I had some changes in my right breast and that I could expect more xray and ultrasound and probably a biopsy. Needless to say I am worried. Can anyone explain what changes can show up between mammograms please.

Thank you

Gill

Hi Gill ,most changes are begnign in nature and most recalls do not result in a breast cancer diagnosis.They can see changes such as calcifications which can be totally innocent in nature but may need looking at bit to closer to make sure they are nothing to worry about .Sometimes only a biopsy can confirm what is going on .When is your appointment ? It’s a horrible anxious time I know .Jill x
