All mammography facilities are now required to send your results to you within 30 days. You will be contacted within 5 working days if there is a problem with the mammogram. Within a week of your mammogram, you will receive a letter from The Hill Medical Corporation informing you of the results in clear and simple language. Your personal health care provider will also receive a report with the same information written in technical medical language.

You will be notified personally if there is an abnormality in your mammogram. Only 1 or 2 mammograms out of every 1,000 lead to a diagnosis of cancer. Approximately 10% of women will require additional mammography. Don't be alarmed if this happens to you. Only 8%-10% of those women will need a biopsy, and most of those biopsies will not be cancer.
