I expect a routine annual mammogram.

What was said about the calcifications, if any were found? Usually these warrant additional testing.

My first mammo showed microcalcifications so i went for magnification views they were benign then followed up in 6 months and they are still benign

As long as your calcifications remain unchanged, your mammogram schedule will be once a year. And, you'll most likely have a standard mammogram as opposed to a diagnostic one.

Yearly mammograms seem appropriate in this situation.

Best wishes
