xxx cancer centre now doing them every three years. Said that research shows not needed more often as mammograms  themselves have risks from radiation. But when I was worried about rib pain they brought me in immediately for an examination. I guess we have to trust them but it is worrying.

thanks so much for your fepky 

yes 3 years is agonising for us but what can we do lovely . 
but what gets me is that in 3 years if it’s not caught can you imagine how much it’s travelling through body so when they say it’s harmful how can it be as harmful as that 

what do you think ? 

love Lara x 

I was told that the mammogram doesn’t show progression that quickly but who knows? A workmate and myself were diagnosed within three months of each other. She died this morning while I am free of disease right now. It’s scary!

I’m so sorry about your work colleague how terrible .I can imagine the shock 

my bestie and I both were sane within 4 months of each other .

have you had annual mamos since all clear ? 

I had annual for 2 years but now three yearly.

like you say we have to try and learn to trust it but I will never be happy with it xx
