Just had a mammogram and did extra

[trace2]

Iv had a mammogram today as due she did the usual 2 on each side , was just about to get dressed and said no can I do one more please ? So she did on my right Nipple tried to tell me not to worry ! As this happed to anyone and been ok ? Am trying not to worry

I'm pretty sure I had a couple of extra ones. I think she checked the images and wanted to be 100% certain she'd got everything needed for when they're reviewed by the screener. Everything was fine, I got the all clear very quickly.

Thank you it was just the nipple on the right trying not to worry x

I've been asked to repeat one side, she said it was because I moved ever so slightly and the picture wasn't as clear as they liked.

On the same day or called back ? Thank I feel much better bx

I had to have a full set done again. It was because the talcum powder I'd used on my body had shown up in the xrays.

I didn't need mine re doing but I think it's normal to do so. She checked the images before letting me leave to see if more needed doing

Oh yes it says not to use talc befor it 😮

On the same day. I was just starting to get dressed and she asked me if she could re-do one side.

And told me to hold my breath this time!

I've had to have extra done at a different angle. It's just so they get everything in so they can be checked properly and people don't have to be recalled.

I had this- it was because it was a bit blurry and they had to repeat it on one side. I recall they said we need to do another one. I was alarmed by this and it's only when I pushed her and repeatedly asked why she said it was because it wasn't a clear image... I wish she just said that to start. Anyhow- it was all fine and I'm sure yours will be too.

Thank you was weird how it was just my right nipple , but am not worried now she was just making sure , I wish I had pushed her like you though ? Agree why couldn’t she just say that to you? X

Yes agree better than being recalled x

I'm still waiting for my results,it's 2 weeks tomorrow!

She told me not to tense my arm holding on x

Aww good luck let us know ? X

I have always been asked to wait until they check then it's been retaken if I've moved or it's not the right angle. All fine in the end

From experience, I'm 95% sure she would have seen that your nipple was overlaying your breast tissue and decided to do a view with your nipple out the way of your breast tissue.

It's done just to improve image quality and not that she's seen a cancer.

Yes I had that too. They really position you don't they?!

Yes I think that’s true it’s cos it’s first time this as happened after them got years x

Yes and it hurt my shoulders are stiff to start with x

Yes to this- you said it much better than me. Please don't worry x

I had this last week - called back twice, seven scans in total. It was all fine.
