Undressing at breast clinic

Hi 

I suspect this might depend on the hospital, but in general do you have to undress for each exam / test at the breast clinic or are you asked to change into a gown at the start of your appointment?

From what I’ve read I understand that there’s a lot of sitting around in waiting rooms and I know I’d be more comfortable wearing clothes than a gown in that situation. 

Thanks

    Hi there , when I went they gave me a choice whether to wear a cape with Velcro fastening or my own clothes . They keep you covered as much as they can and only expose you when they have to . The staff are very kind and understanding and do their best to get you through it as quickly as possible .I wish you all the best xx

    Hello Jamiebl, they are all very professional and considerate, all staff who dealt with me were all women as well . They gave me a gown to change into , and you put it on ,back to front ,so you keep yourself well covered .xx
