My little bit of activism to help these numbers improve even if it’s only by a tiny tiny amount - I have been promoting screening to all my peers and friends since the day of my diagnosis and will continue to do so. Signed up to volunteer for McGrath at the Pink Test in Jan to promote and also informed of the Bondi pop up to many expats friend who live there. I will be driving education to all my female friends and hope can help and contribute to the cause. I had a great experience so far but would say that I only had a random female GP mention I could get the check for free via Breast Screen NSW because I saw her instead of my usual GP. When I saw him he was surprised I’d gone on the instructions of his fellow doctor. Not that it was a bad thing of course but his facts around age range and what he thought, he would not have told me about or mentioned it as a recommendation. My point to all of this is that even the GPs don’t seem to be fully up on promoting breast screening or know the correct info on when to.
Your 'Little' bit of activism can make a 'big' ripple effect - Thankyou. Keep at it kittykatster
