Please help calm my runaway mind

[Sparkygal]

I had my 1st mammogram 5 weeks ago and hadn't heard anything (thought no news was good), so I called them today they said I need to be recalled (pencilled in for the start of May) as they saw something they'd like to look at more.
I know it's common to be recalled and with 1st mammogram they have nothing to compare but I still feel teary and anxious.
I feel I can't really tell to anyone in real life as don't want to worry them (when it may be nothing) - the reasonable part of my head is saying don't worry until there is something to worry about, but my anxious part is taking over and making me panicky!😟

We have things called calcifications and quite often those are recalled. I think this is really common so try not to worry. If there was something more sinister they would have you back more quickly. You can't do anything and worrying is making you ill so try to acknowledge that it is ok to be anxioubut it is all a bit of a waste of energy

@KathieFerrars, thank you so much for your reply. I know you're right and I need to just put it to the back of my mind. Still have 2 weeks to wait until I go back which is a long time to be anxious, so I will keep busy and try think positively. X

Had my recall appointment today and am relieved to say everything is fine. Apparently it's a lymph node in the breast tissue.
The nurses and doctor were SO kind and calming.

Just wanted to say, in case anyone is anxiously waiting like I was and searching threads for positive outcomes (like I was!).

My heart goes out to everyone with a recall letter - that wait is torturous. When today came I had prepared myself for news either way - I just wanted to know. xx

Glad it was ok. You sound like me I'm that you worry over things that others might not worry about. Then I try and call myself down and tell myself it's fine then Google...
But don't want to mention it irl for fear of worrying others!
