Am in remission from BC 2 yrs 6 months.Last mammogram was clear in February 2023, however got a letter for another in September! Now I am worried why I need another so soon. This happen to anyone else? Thanks
Hello,
I can see this would be worrying but if you had results in February which said clear then I suggest this might be an administrative error.
However, there is probably a contact number of your letter to allow for cancellation so I would ring up tomorrow and ask why you have been called as you weren't anticipating another until Feb24. If it's an error, they will be pleased as you'll be freeing up a place for someone else.
I hope all is well and continues that way. Try not to worry too much until you have spoken to someone.
Take care. Love Karen
Hi Val62 , I wonder if it’s the 3 year routine mammogram? I have had 2 letters offering me these during my nearly 5 years post diagnosis. Each time I’ve phoned to say I don’t need it as I’m being monitored annually by the breast clinic. They’ve then been able to offer the appointment to someone else. They said they won’t take me off their list as it will ensure that these resume after my 5 years of annual mammograms come to an end, assuming this year’s is all ok.
But if it’s from the breast clinic then it does sound like an administrative error. Hope you get it resolved soon, love and hugs, HFxx
