mammogram call back?

hthomas02 · October 2012

OK, so I think this is not abnormal, but just wanted to see, how many of you have had to go back for further images after your mammogram? I got a call today they found some calcifications in one of my breasts and want me to go back for additional testing.

I have not had one yet but my bff has had 2 and both times she was called back for the same thing, and both times it was fine.

When I found a lump I had to go for additional testing after the initial mammogram. Did a needle biopsy and it was fine.

Did they just do a mammogram or did they do an u/s too? I have had 3 and every time I have had a diagnostic one (which takes like 3 hours) and is both a mammogram and u/s, but I would think being called back is not that abnormal.

When mine showed the lump, they immediately did the ultrasound. Know my results are not the one you want, but may be a good sign they didn't find anything immediately. If this is your baseline, they probably want to mark each annomalie to compare to future readings. Sure you will be fine.

I had a callback on my second mammogram and went in for another view from the mammogram; I don't believe I had an US. Ultimately it was normal, and I've and at least 2 more that were completely normal. So, while stressful, needing to go back isn't uncommon.

Thanks y'all! And praying for you doctryan!

That happened to me the first time I got a mammo. I heard it's pretty common.
