Hello
On Friday I did my first mammogram, I'm age 41 (in US they start these at 40). I was scheduled for a 3D mammogram and wasn't too worried. No history of it or ovarian cancer in my family and my obgyn had just did a manual breast exam a few days before....no lumps felt. Mammogram was quick and radiologist even said see you in a year! So felt pretty good leaving. Then I got the phone call from imaging center that i needed more scans done and to schedule something next week. I got no details until my GP called later that day and said she isn't concerned but to be on the safe side to get further scan done and ultrasound of right breast for asymmetric density. She says it's common with 1st time mammogram to get a call back for this. Still I am freaking out! I havw to wait a week for my appointment and am beside myself with worry.
