Hey lovely ladies,

Quick question.

When do the annual mammograms start from?

I had my routine mammogram in Jan last year, biopsy Feb, Surgery March, Rads in May.

In people's experience is the recall likely?

Just wondered.

Thank you x

    This should read when will the recall be! Oops!

  • Good morning

    My annual mammogram has always been one year on from the date of the surgery. So far I have had four clear ones!

    However, I imagine different areas have different systems so don't worry if you don't hear for a bit but personally if you haven't heard chase it up around March / April.

    Hope all goes well.

    Hi 

    J's annual mammogram reviews were yearly from her surgery date too. I think they use that date as surgery is considered the primary removal treatment, whether you have had neoadjuvant chemo or not.

    She had 5 (starting 2013) after that she was put back to needing them every 3 years as standard.

  • My mammograms have been from the day I went to breast clinical as a referral and I was then initially diagnosed. I am with private clinic...I get results there and then.

  • Yes as for others,  pretty much a year after surgery give or take a month. I have had an appointment through for one this year at the end of Jan but I remember last year I had to ring up the breast surgeon's secretary to chase up the appointment 

    Cwtches,
