Dear @Stewie
This is a really annoying and upsetting stuff up. Given what treatment can entail, one additional mammogram can hardly make too much difference. That said, there is absolutely no reason why you should be the one who carries the weight of someone else’s officious box ticking. I suspect the breast care nurse was trying to helpfully follow up, realising there is a problem. There is no reason why your surgeon can’t request a mammogram - who knows what was said in a phone call you didn’t hear. Please consider having a chat with your surgeon before doing anything further. Best wishes.
