Went for the routing breast screening I am 54 this is the second routine scan I have had the last was a fe years back and was fine. I received a letter to say they have made an appointment for me to have more screening as x-ray was unclear. I think the exact wording was unclear results.

The appointment is next week, which I am grateful for, the letter says 1 in 100 that visit the screening van are referred for more scans and of those 1/4 has cancer. The letter says they will redo x-ray and do an ultra sound and may do I lumpectomy. I don't feel any lumps anywhere - I do remember in the past being told I have dense breasts. On HRT. Trying to focus on the 75% that dont have it rather than the 25% that do but even 25% feels high. Dont know if this is a standard letter they send The letter says allow 3 hours for the tests. I'm in Scotland.

I had a recall and an ultrasound around the same age. Mine was because my breasts were dense and fibrous apparently! Anyway all was ok so hope you have good news soon.

Hi can I ask how long did it take for them to contact you? I had my breast screening 24th October. My friend said she got her results the next day. We are with same GP and went to the same place for breast screening

My routine screening was on 2/10 on the screening lorry. The letter fur the recall arrived at beginning of November screen was on 12/11 at hospital. Consisted of 3d xray which is clearer than the one on the van which is 2d followed by an ultrasound then breast examination given all clear thankfully.
