Should I go for 2nd mammogram

[Grrrrrsnarl]

More of a wwyd
Last year (June ish) I thought I had a breast lump so went to the Dr who fast tracked me to the breast clinic. Fortunately all was fine. Just thickening of the breast tissue.

I have just received a letter from the breast screening saying an appointment has been made for another mammogram in march.
This is because I am one of the trial women selected to have screening earlier.

I am 48 finished the menopause about 4 years ago (very early I know)

What would you do.... Go along and have the mammogram
Or cancel the appointment and tell them I had one last year and not be part of the trial, but may have to wait until past 50 for another one

I know mammograms aren't good for the body hence my question

I would go

I'd go

what does it say in the letter?....there was a whole screed of if's and but's on the one I had recently

and a phone number to call, if in doubt

I’d go.

I'd definitely go.

Ok.. overwhelmingly go then ....

Absolutely without a shadow of a doubt, I would go.

Exactly the same happened to me
I'm now 50 and had another regular mammogram which has resulted in a recall and a biopsy
I've just got an appointment through for another biopsy in 2 weeks

Did you have both breasts done previously? I'd still go, they should ask about previous mammograms and they'll have a time frame in which they won't repeat it but I can't remember how long that is. You can always call up and ask though?

really..call up and ask, there is not any sense in wasting an appointment they could give to someone else for the sake of a 30 second phone call.

spam88 my mum gets an annual mammogram due to previous cancer so a year in between screening is fine.

Phone and ask them op.
