Some of her relatives don't attend for screening and this can be because of fear.

 



Unfortunately, even some relatives of mine still don't go, even though they know my history so you can't always convince everybody, but...

Why do you think people don't go, even relatives when they know what ...? 

I think it's fear of knowing. I think it's the fear that, you know, whereas most people who go think they're going to be told everything's okay, perhaps there are a certain group of people who fear that they're going to be told everything isn't okay and that's why they can't face going, I don't know. But it's much better to know early than late.
