When I was returning home from Perth to the Kimberley after my diagnosis and a very painful ( just a little sting, dear!) core biopsy some 18 months ago, I too was selected for the swab test. What is it about older ladies that we get picked out for swab tests?
As the young man ran the wand over my right side, I flinched. Aha, must have something there so a female security agent was called over for a pat down. By now I was in tears. Sore, sorry, alone and coping with a BC diagnosis.
The female security person was lovely, telling me not to worry about it, it was just procedure.

I will never forget that warm understanding lovely middle aged lady.
