Went for a Mamogram Heard Nothing Mom Went She Got Her Results

Call the office where you had the monogram done. Every facility is different in how they report results.

If it's bad they will call right away. You can always call so see if they have the results. Good luck!!

Last time I had one, I received a letter about a month later stating it was fine. But possibly your doctor will let you know. Or, in lots of cases, they don't call if everything is ok. I would assume no news is good news, but if at all you're concerned - call. They can tell you just by looking at your file. Good luck :)

Call the drs office. They may have the wrong phone number for you. Sometimes numbers get transferred from the paper to the computer wrong. Sometimes the nurse dials wrong. Hoping all is well.

The best thing you can to ease your mind is to call the doctor or facility that did your mammograms. We on this site cannot tell you your results.

I know that early detection is the best prevention to breast cancer. Also knowing your body and how it operates is important. Know all the lumps and if they feel "different" or are larger or numb then you need to call your doctor. Perhaps your mom's cancer was not detected until a later stage and there was no way to help her.

I am a survivor of 18 years and I live my life to the fullest each day. I thank God for letting me stay and to help others to get the help and care that they need in many areas of health.

Call the doctor who ordered the mammogram. He/she might have filed away the paperwork without calling. If there's a problem the place doing the mammogram will call and schedule you to come in for further testing but since you've heard nothing I'd call the doctor's office.

We don't know your results either. Call the location where you had it done or your primary care doctor.

According to the show 'The Doctors' "No news, is no news." You should call.

My doctor only calls after tests if there is a bad news or a follow-up is needed.

Just give your doctor/clinic a call and ask. :-)

The technician won't give you results, and will only say if the images seem clear enough that she doesn't need to take more, and you can then go home. A radiologist has to read the actual film. If you haven't heard in a week, contact the doctor who ordered the mammogram - either your primary care physician or your gynecologist.

Some doctors only notify you with bad results. In that case, no contact means there isn't a problem. With your history though, I'd follow up and be sure.

So you went, got a mamo and they never called you? Chances are all is fine. But you need to call them to make 100% certain. Do it today and ease your mind. You can also call the doctor who referred you to get the mamo. They will likely have the results.

Sounds like they got their phone call list messed up. There isn't any reason to not call you. I'd call them every day until they gave me the results.

If all else fails call your doc and ask them to get the results.

If I didnt get my results in a few days (maybe a week even) I'd be on the phone....

Call 'em up

My mom just had a follow up on Friday. She had a diagnostic appointment, which means her tests were read and results were given immediately. Others were getting screenings in which their results would be given to them later.

I know with my paps I only get a call if there is a problem - thank God I have never gotten a call.

?
why not call them?

In this case, no news is good news. If there were any indications of problems, they would have called and scheduled an appointment for you to come in.
