I shall tell my story again.
When I went for my mammogram in late 2017 I was asked if I'd like tp participate in the trial of 3D mammogram machines. I was happy to do so and was randomly assigned a 2D machine (which I recognised as I'd had a mammogram before).
The 2D machine did pick up my tumour. However when I returned for the call back scan I was taken straight to the 3D machine.
That pretty much answered the question right there.
It's going to come down to money as always. And I wouldn't be surprised if there was some politics going on about which we are unaware.
