Dear Lådìes, Nøn-Bínarìes and Persons of Interest...
Is it true that standard eligibility for breast screening is only for those persons between the ages of 50 and 70?
Are you proactive in getting yourself checked regularly?
If you had to go for a checkup or a mammogram, for whatever reason, would you prefer to take someone with you as a chaperone during the appointment? |

"Yes. Breast tissue is considered too dense in under 50's to be able to detect all lumps accurately in mannograms. So we all should feel throughly with our hands every month, for any changes  "

I don't go Nero. My take up has been nil.
I did a lot of research and thinking and I thought NO .... |

I was asked to go for cancer gene testing a few years ago due to family history.
I was initially in two minds about it as I absolutely terrified if honest.The implications and the what ifs were pretty alarming.
I did go in the end and thankfully all was well.
I went alone.
I do check my boobs regularly too. |

I had my first mammogram at end of January on the back of a referral from my GP about a lump... I actually rather enjoyed the mammogram ( I'm a weirdo I know  ) however the needle biopsy I had done last week was considerably less pleasant lol |

"I was pleasantly surprised in the M&S changing rooms last week, that while trying on bras they have stickers up on the mirrors demonstrating how to check yourself and what to look out for. "
They also have them on the back of the doors in the women's toilets |

My boobs are so tiny that they struggle to squeeze them between the plates for a mammogram 🥹🥹🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think I was invited to one now as I am over 50- had one and a biopsy at 41 due to a lump scare. It aas all clear though! |

I was invited just before my 50th birthday.
I attended one of the mobile breast screening centres in a local Tesco car park. In fairness these units are very well set up to ensure your privacy and comfort is the priority.
If someone required a chaperone I wouldn't think there's enough room inside, however they could be sat in the car just outside waiting for you, which is what my husband did.
The procedure itself wasn't painful, it was slightly restrictive but it only lasts a brief moment.
I would most definitely recommend having this screening done.

Don’t forget to check for lumps and bumps or skin that looks different!
