Need you to talk me down...first mammogram came back and they need more tests [View all]

I am 43 and just had my first Mammogram... does anyone know how common it is for them to ask for more testing due to breast density? I guess my left breast is harder for them to see and they want me to come back in for another run.

What makes me nervous is that I start weighing all the health factors against me and I think I am screwn...
I also thought this one was more of a 'baseline' so it doesn't feel good that they want another looksie.

been reading articles all over the internet, but I don't think it is making me feel better :/
