Cancer >> Breast Screening >> Age 50-59 >> Interview 12 >> Says that nowadays breast cancer isn't as frightening as it used to be.

Benign lump surgically removed in 1977. Had mammograms every two years since. Mammogram in 1990 and further tests found pre-cancerous cells. Had treatment. Now attends for routine screening mammograms.

Cancer >> Breast Screening >> Age 60-69 >> Interview 22 >> Media stories about breast screening and cancer can raise awareness but can also be sensationalised and unreliable.

Has attended for routine breast screening since age 50. Was recalled once because calcium deposits were found on mammogram. Results were normal then and in subsequent mammograms.
