3rd mammo in 6 months

3rd mammo in 6 months

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here. I'm 35. I went for a mammogram in January, Doc told me if all is well I'm good till I'm 40. Well she calls and says she wanted to retake pics of the right side in 6 weeks. So I went back in February, and she calls back and says she wants more pics in 6 months. I went today, and I'm so worried about the next phone call I get from her. Should I worry? Why so many re-takes?

The best thing to do is take the bull by the horns and ask HER why soooo many retakes and what the reports are saying.  At the same time ask her for copies of all the reports for your records.  Then ask her if they suspect something why she hasn't ordered an ultrasound or MRI to clairfiy their findings.  Last but not least keep asking until you get
the answers to your questions.  It's your body and you deserve an explaination.
