Am very anxious, as I have just had a recall letter 8 days after attending my first routine mammogram in a mobile screening unit. The radiographer there warned me beforehand that some women are recalled for technical reasons and some because there is a potential problem that needs further investigation.
My letter just says
" Thank you for attending the Breast Screening Unit. Following this, I would like you to have some further tests to make sure all is clear.
This is part of our normal screening process and the vast majority of women recalled are found to have no evidence of serious disease "
And then the appt date (Tues)
Would the letter have said if the repeat is due to a technical reason (the film not being clear?) Or is this just a generic letter that is sent out to everyone?
Am particularly worried as I have a 'lumpy' right breast - it was checked about 6 years ago and everything was fine. But six years is six years...

Do all mammogram recall letters say the same thing?
