She feels reassured by being screened and says embarrassment shouldn't deter women from going.

 



My personal reason is, well the big word is 'reassurance' really. Yes and as I say if you're unfortunate enough to have a problem, the sooner you find out the better. And the sooner you can think positively and do something about it. 

So you always attend regularly for breast screening?    

Always yes.  

Have you always attended for other kinds of screening like cervical screening? 

Yes, yes.   

So in general you're quite positive about breast screening?  

I am yes. 

Is there anything you'd want to tell other people about breast screening?

No just that, don't worry about it, you know, don't worry about the embarrassment or anything just, just go for your own sanity, just go.
