Mammogram call back

I had my mammogram last week, and received a letter calling me back for second screening tomorrow, including an ultrasound and breasy exam.

I am obviously concerned - has anyone else had this?

The NHS actually became NHSEngland on 1st April. Anything referring to the NHS from then on really does just mean England. Scotland and Wales are not being privatised by the government, luckily for people living there.

It's going to be a "natural experiment" jen with 3 parallel NHS models all doing health (and social care) differently.

I went for my breast screening this morning, hope I shan't be called back this time. I had a rather embarrassing senior moment. As I removed my bra I discovered the 2 pipettes of Frontline flea drops which I had put there to warm up so that the cats didn't feel them being applied. I hastily put them in my bag, but there was an imprint on each boob! I did explain and we laughed about it. Then when I went to get dressed I opened the door onto the corridor instead of the cubicle! Nobody about thank goodness. blush

Shysal the staff in such places always seem to assume the patients know what to do and where every door leads to, don't they!

Not as bad as the physiotherapist who told me about a rather large lady she was treating who turned out to have a toffee stuff under one of the folds of her stomach grin

Reminds me of the story of Green Shield stamps found in an intimate area after a woman had used toilet tissues from her handbag!
