Recalled from routine mammogram

I have been recalled for further tests after a routine mammogram, It has been less than one month since the initial mammogram so things have moved quickly. I am obviously concerned but one thing has occured to me on x raying the 2nd breast the radiographer did wipe away excess talc saying this would show on the x-ray and i would not “want that”…this was missed on the first side and not wiped away. I am probably grasping at straws but is it a possibility that talc has shown on my mammogram. I realise that this is probably not the case but my mind is in overdrive untill my appt and i have the next lot of tests.
