I meet the criteria too Marianne. How long would we be there? How many people do you need?
It was a very busy day and when I was corralled with the other women, room was full, I kept my head down and this voice said, "What are you doing here?" turns out there were 5 other ladies from my neighbourhood there with me on the recall. Two of us were diagnosed the others were relieved to go home.
After my ultrasound they said you're going straight to the surgeon and I said I am not going back in the room with all the ladies and I sat with my hubby in the passage waiting so when I was given the diagnosis I was already prepared. The Counsellor shadowed me all day with each test and was there in the room with a cast of thousands with the Breast Surgeon when he gave me the news. My hubby was teary but I wasn't and everyone in the room were holding their breath expecting me to crack but I didn't! It was a formality only to wait for the pathology results as the diagnosis was obvious.
Thanks so much for your interest. We only need one. I understand they would ideally like someone under 40 but will pass both your details on as this isn't a hard and fast requirement.
You can access free mammograms but they're not routinely offered until 50 (hence the younger women requirement being flexible
