Mammo Mislabeled

Jamlyn4

I had a mammogram almost 2 weeks ago. Report popped up on my patient portal that said it was mislabeled and I would need to come back in. When I called 2 different people indicated that notes were that radiologist needed a new view involving rolling. They couldn't tell from notes if mislabeled meant missing or something on scan labeled incorrectly.

Its all a little strange and while I would hope they label things right I totally understand errors happening in a busy office. And I wouldn't even be upset if that were the case. But now I'm sort of worried that they found something since they're indicating additional needs but they won't tell me anything by phone other than need to come back.

Any advice, similar experiences, comforting words?

Went back for followup mammo yesterday. Ended up there was a suspicious area and I got the joy of multiple more views and compressions as well as an ultrasound. In the end radiologist saw several areas of collections of fluid filled cysts. He doesn't think they're anything immediately concerning but does want to followup with another ultrasound in 6 months to make sure nothing changes. So overall, good news for now.
