Mammogram Recall

• Hi, sorry you have received the dreaded letter.  I had a recall letter 10 years ago and all was fine.  I had calcification.  I then found a mass September 2022 which turned out to be cancer.  The stage you are at is the worst.  Waiting on results.  Try not to dwell on it (easier said than done).  There are many in here that have been diagnosed and come out the other side.  There are lots of different treatments now so don’t be putting yourself through the mill.  

That's a long time for results.  Have they allocated you a breast care nurse.  If do you can ring her.  The waiting @nd unknown is the worse.  Xx

U r nt bein pathetic hun its a scary situation 2 b in nt knowing just talk 2 sme1 how ur feelin u need 2 Ave a release hun all the best xx

Thanks for your replies. Doctor said results would take 7 to 10 days but soonest appointment was 26th Sept. Receptionist said if there was a cancellation in the meantime they would call. 

It just seems so unreal...last week I didn't have a care n the world...and now I'm here. Of course I am going over every pain and niggle I've had in the last 3 years since last mammogram ...and imaging all sorts of things.

that is so infuriating, and don't google or cross any bridges until you have to, we all do, oh im sure this pain is that or this and  my brain! just kidding, hope they get to you sooner, but take this time to be you hugs

Hi 

I fully understand how you are feeling and it’s natural. I was recalled in July, had a lumpectomy and node removal last week and awaiting results.

The waiting is the worst your mind goes into overdrive and you imagine some awful scenarios. Hopefully you get an earlier appointment so you can discuss the results. Take a pen and paper so you can jot done notes of the meeting. I used the online chat with the nurses,  they are really friendly and helpful. Hugs

Thanks all for replies. Still feeling terribly anxious....I thought I was braver than this.

Rang helpline yesterday and spoke to a lovely nurse. After the call I felt a lot better . She was so supporting and reassuring but of course the anxiety has returned. I really must try and get on with things. Wish I could be a bit more zen and face each problem as it arises stead of letting my thoughts go into overdrive and catastrophising about everything.

Leesland123....Good luck with your results....so wrapped up in myself I forgot to say that.

Donna...Good luck to you too
