Mammogram wording unclear vs inconclusive

Hi lovelies; can anyone tell me the difference between a recall mammogram letter that says inconclusive and one that says unclear? Both same mammogram mobile unit and health board etc. my friend had inconclusive and I got unclear. ( no lumps bumps etc and had 3 clear mammas before)
The lovely ladies at the clinic I’m due for a recall at can’t give me any more info understandably so it’s a waiting game for 2 weeks when I have an appointment. Just wondered if anyone knew the difference? Thank you and lots of love x

Unclear could mean the image isn't clean - blurred or whatever, so they need to retake it. Maybe you moved a bit?

Could well be! Thanks for taking the time to reply! I am trying to switch my worrying brain off to be honest! X

Good luck for tomorrow! I hope all goes well for you. It’s so stressful isn’t it? Like you, I’ve just received an unclear X-ray recall letter today after a 10 week wait. I’m worrying myself sick now. My husband actually wondered whether they’d lost my mammogram as when I phoned last week they said they didn’t have any record of me on the system then. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

hi- unfortunately today was a nightmare…2 mammograms, 4 biopsies and 4 markers and the likelihood of it being cancer very high… gutted. Fingers crossed all works out for you and it does for the majority.
i am now in limbo for the next 2 weeks waiting on results but 1 splodgey area looks pretty much 100% cancer the other 2 dots they aren’t sure about and 1 slightly larger lymph node but they are just erring in the side of caution with the biopsy for that. So fingers crossed for you I’m sure all will be fine xxxx

I'm sorry to hear this, my cousin is in an identical situation, had 4 biopsies on Monday. What happens next for you? X

Oh I’m so sorry to hear your news. That must have been an awful day for you. I’m gutted for you. Sending lots of love. Xx

Oh wow that was fast, hope you are recovering OK from the surgery. My sister is having a lumpectomy and lymph nodes removed on 30th. Sending love x
