Inconclusive Follow up Mammogram

Hi there everyone,

I wanted to see if anyone out there has had a similar experience to me at their follow up scans.  I was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer about 2 years ago, had a lumpectomy and radiation treatment.  I've been having mammograms every 12 months and up until the last scan it's been "nothing to see here".  At my last mammogram, the radiologist said that they noticed some changes around the site of my scar as compared to the previous scan which could be calcification or something else but that they were not worried enough to do a biopsy so come back in 6 months.  I have to say this was not as reassuring as my previous scans where I could walk away and not have to worry/think about things too much.  I do feel like I am a bit in limbo and the fear of recurrence which I normally manage quite well is somewhat heightened.  Just wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience with their scans (ie not conclusive but advised to sit tight for now)?

Thanks All
