I got a text to advise my mammogram was abnormal and got hospital tomorrow I am terrified of what they have found. I am worried about what hapoens tomorrow at my appointment.
If you can go along with someone to keep you company tomorrow that will help you tremendously. Having something abnormal isn’t necessarily bad news try to keep that in mind until you get some facts. I know it’s very unnerving
Thank you my husband is coming along just so worrying
Bless you.
I too was recalled after a routine mammogram. In my case I went to the hospital and given another mammogram on a different X-ray machine and the X-ray was targeted in the area where the abnormality was seen. It was a little bit more uncomfortable than the scanner used in the mobile unit I originally visited .
The doctor looked at the X-ray then I was taken into another room where they performed a biopsy of the ‘lump’ they had discovered and also a biopsy from one of my Lymph nodes which also showed up on my mammogram as being suspect.
I was then seen by a breast care nurse to have a chat. By this time , although it had not been confirmed, I was certain it was cancer and she explained that it was quite probable it was cancer. I was unfortunately on my own due to the hospital still having covid precautions in place. It was July 2022.
Of course, this was what happened in my case . It is quite possible that yours will not be cancer as they look at all abnormal X-ray results as a matter of precaution.
I know this will not stop you worrying and being scared.
I was really scared as well but somehow found the courage to get through everything. I am post surgery and radiotherapy now and on anti cancer medication. I still have bad days but they are not as frequent.
The cancer teams are amazing people. Very caring and professional . Trust them .
I wish you luck .
take care NannaJ xx
