Feels more reassured seeing an experienced consultant, who checks her thoroughly, than someone more junior.
First routine mammogram 1999. Recalled but told mammogram was clear. January 2000, malignant lump discovered. Treated for breast cancer. In 2002, told cancer had been present since 1999 mammogram but had not been picked up.
