Breast biopsy

Why would I be brought back for another mammogram 3 weeks after core breast biopsy when a mammogram was already taken immediately after the core biopsy.
I was told core biopsy was clear but another mammogram so soon does not fit with a clear result.
Dear Shel2.
Thank you for posting on our online forum. I am delighted to read that your core biopsy result did not show an abnormality. Shel2, while it is unusual for a mammogram to be performed so soon after your last mammogram, there could be a clinical reason for this. If you have a contact for the breast care nurse/doctors or secretary, you could contact them to find out why another mammogram is required. Alternatively, you GP might be able to address this question for you.
If you would like to speak to a cancer nurse about this, please call our support line. Our number is 1800 200 700, and we are here Monday to Friday, from 0900-1700.
Kind regards,
Cancer Nurse
