Don't you just love Breastscreen visits (not !). I was diagnosed at my 8th mammogram and like you, the radiologist seemed to take quite some time on one breast.

Sure enough, after waiting more then an hour for everyone else to be seen I was told that I had to have a mastectomy.
There is life after all - and you have a great new life O/S waiting for you.
Good luck and do keep in touch to tell us how you are travelling.
Big hugs
Summer :-)
