Breast cancer in the media

I was large breasted and never found them painful. The Breastscreen I went to was dingy, shabby and ugly. I was given gowns that didn't fit properly, made to wait on an uncomfortable bench, could overhear techs talking about women with cancer, and was greeted by an unsmiling receptionist both times.

Ultimately it makes no difference. The machines find a cancer or they don't, but I am affected by environment, by aesthetic. I would have appreciated some polite reassuring demeanours, a comfortable waiting environment, a fresh coat of paint, something pleasant and non-stressful to look at, not having to carry my clothes around in a plastic basket and newish gowns that fit correctly. If anything makes it more likely that women would attend regularly rather than putting it off, I'm all for it.
