My mother gets a mammogram done every year. She was called back in this time to get one of her breast re-done. The said they wanted to get a better picture. They do the new mammograms were they can see a picture of the mammogram before they take you off the plates. However she got called back to re-do her mammograms. She went today and she said that they did a lot more pictures than they usualy do. Is this typical of getting a mammogram re-done? Or do you think they are doing this because they suspect something is wrong. She does not feel anything. She went for a papPap smear Pap smears and cervical cancer test recently and they did not feel anything when they did a breast exam. What should we expect? How long will it be before we hear results? For additional information. She has had a biopsy done many years ago that turned out to be nothing.
This can be scary. Mammo's are done for a second time for many reasons. The best thing is for her to call and just ask what and why. Many results can take a few days or even a week. Let's hope she doesn't need to wait long.
I will say a prayer for her. Just be there for and listen to her concerns. Do something special for her to take her mind off things.
