Mammogram

I had a mammogram a week ago and have just recieved a call back for next Wednesday the 14th August 2019, does this mean I could have breast cancer, I am 57 and a type 1 diabetic.

i am petrified, is there anyone who has had a callback like me?

  • Hello Millie-moo

    Welcome to the forum. We know that being recalled after routine breast screening can be a worrying time. Being recalled doesn’t mean you have breast cancer and it's important to remember that the majority of women who are recalled don’t have cancer. 

    Breast Cancer Care have a blog post here which may help to answer some of your questions but if you'd like to speak to someone about your concerns or any specific questions, you're most welcome to give our team of nurses a call. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that your appointment on Wednesday goes smoothly. Do let us know when you're able. 

    Best wishes,
