Yes I do.  2 of my friends were diagnosed with breast cancer and they called them back very soon after the mammogram x

I am fairly sure if anything was wrong, they would  let you know before that, so I wouldn't worry.

There is a 2 week rule within the nhs.  Ignore anything is found or suspected you see a specialist within 2 weeks.    After mammogram no news is good news x

Probably yes,  and don't worry if a letter comes quickly, it isn't always bad news.....mine wasn't.
  Did you find a lump or was it routine?

For years Ive had a soreness at the side of my right breast , I could have it for maybe 2 to 3 weeks then maybe wouldnt have it for 2 months but I also get tender at the same time on the muscle that runs under the arm and on the breast part that gets sore  but it always worried me  , my nipple use to feel as if there was things crawling round it as well , Ive had all sorts of sensations on the nipple , I was alwaysvterrified to go for a mammogram incase they found something because ofvthese symptoms but I was making myself ill with worry  so bit the bullet and went , now Im more worried x

Ayley, those are the same symptoms that I have had for many years.   Good that you have gone to  have the mamagram, and  hopefully you will have a clear result , and then you can stop worrying.
