Thank you for the reply.
This will be my first mammogram since the operation. I am in the UK & they don't seem to take a mammogram soon after the operation to compare with later. There is only the one I had taken when the actual tumour was present. I may phone the hospital nearer the time (Oct 18th) to give them my concerns, it's just that I didn't find them very helpful last year when I had the tumour & I had to resort to the internet to get information. They don't seem to want to admit that Phyllodes tumours are quite rare.
I will try & keep calm & not think the worst. I cannot feel any lumps myself except for the small scar tissue which I have got used to. I know though that it is early days as regards to this type of tumour recurring.
Thank you again.
Dear YorkRose, It will be very helpful that the radiologist has the information and the actual films to compare the new mammogram with past mammograms. The interpretation of the results will need to take into account your history of surgery and will be evaluated accordingly, if there is a question about the findings that would require further evaluation that would be discussed with you. If you continue to have concerns about the interpretation of your tests after discussion with your doctors, a second opinion, including review of your films, is always an option for you.
