Recall from 1st mammogram - anyone else?

Hi turned 50 last month, and had my very first mammogram at the start of the week. Got a letter today inviting me for further investigations on 9th June.
I understand you can be more likely for recall following your first one and I do have cosmetic breast implants (about 20 years old) I occasionally get an ache in my left breast, I use my left hand a lot for work, also carrying a heavy work bag and my dog can pull a lot on lead too, so didn’t really think anything of the occasional ache till now….
Anyone else waiting or being in same boat? It’s v hard not to think about it!!

I was recalled. I was so worried but it was fatty tissue. All fine and still fine today. ( I am 60)

I got a recall, the further results showed some calcification in my left breast, so benign and all fine

I was recalled after my first one. I had a repeat mammogram, then an ultrasound and it was all fine. I was very worried as I had a small lump in the exact place they were looking more closely at. As you’re aware it’s very common after your first one as they have nothing to compare it to. I hope it turns out well for you.

My friend & I both had recalls after our first mammogram. Following repeat mammogram & ultra sound we were both told there was nothing of concern. As it was the first time for both of us, they had nothing to compare the results with.
Try & be positive, I know it's much easier said than done. Sending good thoughts. Hope all goes well. 💐

Thank you I’m trying not to let my mind race. It’s the not knowing which is terrible, I’m single, with a dog and self employed and my mind is jumping with all sorts of scenarios. I’m glad you’ve all had good outcomes x
