My Results

All mammograms are examined by two different film readers and a final result established. Results are sent out by post within two weeks of the original mammogram. Your GP is also informed of the result.

There are three possible results at this stage:

Normal - no abnormalities were seen and you will be routinely recalled in three years time, provided you will be under 70.

Second Stage Screening - The film readers have seen an area of concern or change in your mammograms and they would like to perform some more tests. You will be invited to go to Breast Services Department, D level, Queen Alexandra Hopsital for these tests within three weeks of your original mammogram. This does not necessarily mean you have cancer.

Technical Recall - for technical reasons some films need to be repeated before they can be classified as "normal" or "second stage screening". You may be asked to return to either the mobile unit or the Breast Services Department, D level, Queen Alexandra Hopsital for these repeats. The films will then be re-examined in the normal manner.

If you have not received your result and you feel you should have then please contact the Screening Office on:
