Hi I am new to this site and not sure where to put this topic. I am 58 years of age, married and have two adult children. Last Tuesday I received my recall letter after my third routine mammogram.
I havs spend the last week searching the internet for information about what are the chances that an assessment after a third mammogram would prove ok. I came accross this great site but couldn’t get the answer I was looking for. So I have decided to write this just in case anyone out there ever has the same question.
I have two close friends who have had BC. One had a full mastectomy and another a lumpectomy and follow up treatments and both are an inspiration to me. so I wasn’t so scared of having to go through the treatment - more the loss of control of my own life.
I went to the assessment clinic and was quickly seen and reassured even before my ultrasound that it appeared to be a cyst. I was in and out within 30 minutes - so yes an assessment after a third routine scan can be ok.
I felt relieved but not ecstatic as I left behind ladies who I met briefly and were awaiting their news. One lady looked so anxious I felt awful leaving.
I will now continue to follow the stories of the inspirational people on this site as in three years time I may be looking for the answer to another question.
Good luck to everyone who is now travelling a sligthly different route than planned and with the support and love of others you will be speedily back on the high road.
Take care

Hi Liz
Thank you for your post - it is so wonderful to hear of people receiving good news. I spent a long time researching (on this site and elsewhere) when I was recalled and then eventually diagnosed and it is so important to hear of happy outcomes (although I too have been lucky).
Best Wishes
Rachel
Hi Liz,
