Immediate call-back for diagnostic Mammo

The timing of the callback doesn't really indicate anything much. Mine took a month.

I think 80% of callbacks show benign results and I hope your are one of those but waiting is hard. Breathe. Deep breathing helps me when I remember to do it.

Personally, I think it has more to do with how efficient the facility is, rather than how bad or good the results are. A few years ago I remember going for the screening mammo in the morning, and getting the call it was all clear that afternoon. I know it's hard to not panic, I do it all the time with every little ache and pain too, but as Wrenn said, the majority of call backs turn out to not be cancer.

I made an account just to reply to this because my situation is exactly the same. I'm 41, had my 2nd annual screening mammogram last Thursday afternoon, 6/25, and got the call back call on Friday morning. I'm also scheduled to go back Wednesday, 7/1, to evaluate a focal asymmetry in the left upper outer breast. I got a callback last year after my first mammo for the same thing, but I've moved to a new state since then and the current hospital only has access to the reports from last year and not to the images themselves, so I wasn't surprised to get called back, but it's still stressful. What I have learned about the callback thing after having been called back two out of two times is that it is still much more likely to be a benign finding than cancer. Good luck to you! Hopefully we both get good news on Wednesday!
