mammogram tests

I am a 50 year old women, I had my annual mammogram test six months ago. They called me back in for a second one, and a ultrasound. They had just switched to digital. I have always had lumpy breasts and dense ones.
I have no history of breast cancer in my family. I don't smoke or drink and have never used birth control pills or hormones. They wanted me to return in 6 months for another mammogram for a follow up. Is this normal practice or should I be worried about something. The xray tech. told me not to worry, that they do this alot with women with dense breasts because there harder to read.
