Yep, it is the most impersonal bit of a form letter that I have ever received from anyone- EVER - but especially relating to my BC. I am surprised it even had my name on the letter & didn't say 'To Whom it may Concern'.
If they are sending this letter out to everyone - I am not surprised that not many get their Breastscreen NSW Mammograms checked after being diagnosed!!
PLEASE,
@JJ70 - show this letter to your contacts in BreastScreen WA - I would value their opinion on it, too
No 'Sorry that this happened to you' ..... as you say - no empathy at all.
They have taken absolutely no responsibility for not picking up the cancer - let alone mentioning the dense breast tissue issue (by way of explanation of not picking up the tumours in the first place!)
I know that Port Macquarie's MG is a top of the range
Tomosynthesis one - they also had access to the US & MGs taken at Taree when I had my Biopsy - not sure if it was a Tomosynthesis one tho - but at least it was another one to compare their own with ..... yet no mention of that
HOW FUCKING PATHETIC!! And I am afraid - that this is the general attitude of BreastScreen NSW - they just don't 'get it', let alone CARE that 20%+ of the population aged between 40-49 and 75+ are thrown under the bus - when they have every right to be advised OF their rights.
I am SO angry
