I agree, I've done too many call backs over the years...but...it is worth it to be cautious.

Try not to lose sleep over it, especially this close to the holidays. Last time I went they did 3 additional views but I've been called back more times than not. I worked in a free-standing radiology facility for 8 years and the doctor read the mammos on the spot, eliminating the need (and worry) about coming back. Most places don't provide that kind of service unfortunately. Best wishes to you.

I was going to say the same thing..have had to do the same and it turned out to be a shadow, glad they were so careful but the waiting to find out is horrible. I hope all goes well for you..post and let us know.

the first time I got called back I was terrified like you and when after the mammogram I was then told had to have ultrasound but it all turned out good it was a very large cyst with lots of smaller ones - try not too worry too much - easier said than done I know but there are alot of reasons why they call you back xx

Please remember that mammo's and all other test are important...but you have to look at yourself too. I noticed a change in color of my nipple on my left breast. Mammo did not show anything, Biopsy showed Inflamatory Breast
Cancer. That was in 2003, I am truly grateful to be a survivor.

I started with a mammo July 29, 2nd mammo in August, ultrasound in Oct., needle biopsy Nov. 3, lumpectomy Dec. 7. All the different medical personnel had difficulty finding the nodule. Had cataracts removed from both eyes in Aug/Sept. Basal Cell Carcinoma removed from nose Nov. 8. So I put on blinders and dealt with one thing at a time. I put myself in the hands of the Lord and will continue to do so. Two lymph nodes showed up brightly and a blurry one showed up. Just sitting and waiting and praying now. So many of the medical personnel were amazed at how small my nodule was. The new technology and digital mammography show so much more than they used to, so the doctors have much more to look at and decipher. I keep telling myself that I am not the only one or there would not be so much technology out there to help me. Thankful for the people that continue to explore and learn and develop new technology to help us. Armpit hurts a bit right now, but not ready for the pain pills sitting on my table yet. So, as others said, deal with one step at a time. May God Bless.

My first and only time was so excruciating that I stopped it before it was finished, and was sore for about a fortnight afterward. I now have ultrasound instead as I have lots of lumps. It is not as traumatic for me and the guy who does the ultrasound studies the lumps and keeps a record of changes in size.

Yes, I was called back for the same and all turned out OK. I can relate to how scared you are- I had to wait over a weekend. Will pray that you will get a good report.

I also get called back about every other time. But I can't blame it on large dense breasts!!

I've had to go back and had an ultra sound. Just a cyst. Better the evil you know then the evil you don't know.
Don't worry it is no big deal.
