Go every time. Scary I know but as you say the staff will protect you. Straight there and straight back. Best wishes

Well , the advice is unanimous. Looks like I'll be going!
Just need to make myself a mask/face covering now.
Thank you all.

As a breast cancer survivor (sounds a bit dramatic sorry !) I’d say absolutely yes you should go !!

In your situation I would go.

There is a Proffesor of Oncology who is trying to encourage everyone to go for screening whenever /wherever possible.

I had an appointment for a mammogram the first week of lockdown which, of sourse, was cancelled. I've just had another appointment letter for next Tuesday. There are the usual precautions like going alone, using hand sanitiser and wearing a mask but I'm not sure whether to go or not.

I'm not in the very vulnerable group but I'm nearly 70, I have ms and high blood pressure so I've been very cautious so far. Part of me thinks it's not worth the risk but part of me wants to get it done while its available.

Any advice please.
