She could have explained the process beyond the actual mammogram itself.  And I think that's very important because we all know that the radiographer can see a lot at the time and we all wonder why can't they just say "Oh yes you're clear, there's nothing there," because they do check that the xrays come out clearly. And to me the best radiographers I've ever had have been when they've said "Oh I think there's a problem here, we'll just look at this," and they explain things to you. They tell you openly "Well I think it's clear, obviously it's got to be looked at by a doctor but I don't think you should worry." They could do that I feel.                                                   

Yes so when you went in for the mammogram did you have any questions that you wanted to ask?                                            

Yes, when will I get my results. That clearly was really the question I wanted to ask. I did expect them to give me a little more information. I think it was much more efficient and it was faster than I expected it to be. I thought that the nurse or radiographer who took the xrays was pretty cold.  And I don't expect them to be Macdonalds "have a nice day" but you had to ask questions rather than information being volunteered. My first concern was "How long will it be before I know what the results are?" and she said a couple of weeks.  In the end I waited five weeks and I got the results yesterday or the day before.
