Over 350,000 women didn't have mammograms 2021-22 due to pain & discomfort .... NEW technology!

This was in the Newspaper yesterday ...... A HUGE number of women are opting out of mammograms due to pain (even tho not mentioned in the article - it is a very real problem) & discomfort of the current mammogram machines.

I had my yearly scans  2 weeks ago & the lady said she wouldn't go 'too hard' on the squeezing ....but I still yelped on one side!!

If you live in Brisbane & have access to Princess Alexandra Hospital - book your mammogram there & please let us know how much 'easier' it is??



We've always said that if testicular cancer was diagnosed with the same machine .... this new technology would have been invented decades ago ....
