Re telling others I tend to agree with @Afraser for similar reasons. I still have teenagers at home and kept them informed each step of the way making it clear they could ask anything they wanted to know.
I am retired but have a volunteer role and kept them all informed too of the process .I just think if we were a bit more open about things like this there would be a lot less fear and maybe someone else might have a mammogram.
I guess I also couldn’t be bothered with cloak and dagger but that said I didn’t take an ad in the paper just spoke up when I needed to.
