Answers:
It is very, very normal to be called in for a 2nd mammogram!. Try not to worry all week, although I know you will at times!. Just tell yourself, I'll take care of it on Friday, and I am not going to spend the week worrying!.

Breasts are naturally lumpy and have calcification!. Any shadow or density, and the radiologist wants to double check!.

I'll be thinking about you!. Take care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi I also am in the same boat as you!. They called me yesterday and I have to go back next Tuesday! They said the same thing that no major masses or calcification but there is an area of density on the right breast they want to take more pictures of!. I was assured by my doctors office that this is pretty common and most are totally fine!. This is my first mammogram (I'm 40) and they also said that is more likely in younger women!. Luckily, I live near New Haven,CT so I'll be going to Yale for the extra tests!. They are supposed to be really good!. I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't be scared! Repeat mammograms are to double check, something on your first may have been fuzzy or unclear, so they want to check again!. The doctor is watching out for you, if they let it go and you did have breast cancer, it may become too late to treat it!. Don't worry, you should be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try not to worry! My mom has had to have several repeat mammograms and they've always come up to just be a density or a calcification!. Mammograms aren't usually very clear so they call you back if anything at all looks fuzzy!. The re-test doesn't mean you have cancer!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!. There is nothing to worry about!. Doctors always want to be extra cautious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it could just be a cyst if it said NO suspicious cacification
