Members rallied around someone anxious about a callback after their first mammogram showed distortion in the upper left breast, with many sharing similar experiences of callbacks that turned out to be benign findings like fibrous tissue, dense breast tissue requiring additional imaging, or simply machine errors. Several members described their own journeys through repeat mammograms, ultrasounds, MRIs, and even biopsies that ultimately showed no cancer, offering both practical reassurance and emotional support during what they acknowledged is a scary and stressful waiting period. The original poster later updated the group with relief that their follow-up went well and they only need a recheck in six months, prompting celebration and reminders that callbacks are routine once a personal baseline is established.

Yeah the one today hurt more then the first time, but it was worth it. At least there was good news after.

You are the first person who has mentioned distortion. My dr. Called it a archectectsonal distorsion and I had 3 mammograms, a sonogram and a core biopsy, which was inconclusive, so I had a lumpectomy and everything turned out fine!

My first mammogram, I had to also have an ultrasound and then a 6 month repeat of both for abnormalities. That was 10 years ago now.

Sometimes the machine doesn’t show and it’s nothing. It can be normal to have you come back to find nothing. That happened to me. Let’s pray that’s all it is.
