Has mixed feelings about going for mammograms because she had been recalled for further tests in the past.

 



All I knew was that I'd had, I'd got to go back. You know and it's sort of stunned, like you've had the diagnosis already. You know. Which I don't know whether every woman feels that way, all the recalls but it certainly made me feel very, very concerned. Very frightened.

It's [going for a mammogram] just a worrying experience in one aspect but it's quite reassuring in another, so it's with mixed emotion. You know I feel that its, on one side it's a good thing to have it done but on another side it does give you a lot of worries and concerns that you wouldn't have if you didn't go for a scan.       

But you've always attended? 

Oh yeah, I've always attended. Yeah.
