Happens to me all the time. The first time they also did an ultra sound, everything checked out okay.

I had to stay and get one last year, ultasound and deeper mamogram, boy I was scared too! Think I was there about 2 hrs. All was good and the one I had this year was good!! Wish you luck on this one!

Yes about 20 years ago. I got so scared I had to have someone drive me there. From then on they will be very careful checking your mammograms, and may have you do it in 6 months the first time. It was not anything to worry about, but now, 20 years later they are still aware, and if you have it done somewhere else in the future, be sure and tell them or you will get another scarey call. You will be OK.

You women are so supportive. I'm going for my mammogram in a week and a half and every year I get older I worry and
dread it more and more. We moved to NM from MA and I don't have a supportive group of women to be there for me -
just a wonderful husband who is understanding but doesn't quite "get it". Thanks and I'll be there for all of you.

Go back and redo the mammogram and whatever else they want. I get a mammogram every year and almost 4 years ago they found cancer. It was very small and I had to have the lump removed and 35 radiation treatments. Because of the breast cancer the oncologist did a CT scan and found lung cancer. I had surgery on my lung and it was also very small. God blessed me with very good doctors and I have been cancer free for almost 4 years.

Last year when I had my mammogram there was a man who came in for one. I felt so sorry for him because he looked like he felt so out of place. Men can have breast cancer too.

This is not unusual, especially if you are 'well endowed'. I have had a few call backs.

Yes, I just had one a couple of weeks ago. I was scared too but the second test was normal. They told me the very same thing, that I might have to have an ultrasound and that the doctor would read it that day and let me know the results. I think it's pretty common to have an incomplete mammogram but that said I know it's very scary. Hopefully your next test will be normal....SS

Been there done that. Nothing to worry about. Chances the machine or film malfunctioned

I also have to wait there until the mammo is read. Had a lumpectomy in 1990, then several stereotactic biopsies over the years. Sometime I am checked every 6 months, sometimes every year. The breast surgeon also looks at every one of my mammos. I drink decaf coffee, tea and soda and take extra Vitamin E. I say a lot of prayers to get through it.
