New here and concerned

Wxnerd

Hello all. I am 44 and I had my first ever screening mammogram in early June. The next day my report was posted in my online patient portal. After reviewing the findings with Dr. Google I’m not sure what to think.

My dr never called my to discuss anything. About two weeks later the breast center called to schedule my follow up mammogram. The earliest appointment she could get me is for early August. Two months after my screening!

Does that mean that they don’t think it’s a big deal so they don’t feel the need to get me in quicker? Should I be less worried since my dr never called me to tell me anything? I know you guys probably don’t have the answers I’m looking for but I feel like you all might relate. My husband is a big worrier so I can’t really discuss any of my concerns with him. I just told him it’s common to be called back since it was my first mammogram (which I believe is true).

Anyway, I posted the dr findings below. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to do that so please let me know if not

Breast tissue is extremely dense possibly obscuring small masses.

In the right breast, there is segmental distribution of partially obscured
punctate and pleomorphic microcalcifications near the 2:00 axis mid to far
depth, requiring additional evaluation. No additional suspicious mass,
calcification or architectural distortion is seen. No acute skin or nipple
abnormalities.

In the left breast there is no suspicious mass, calcification or architectural
distortion is seen. No suspicious skin or nipple abnormalities.
