Having passed the dreaded 50 mark in June, the expected letter arrived inviting me to the breast screening clinic. I am scared and despite pressure from my family dont want to go!!! Am convinced that if I go there will be a problem, so its best not to. I havent been for cervical screening for years and years for the same reason! Its not just being scared they will find something, its the shame pf being overweight and losing my dignity. Will people giggle and talk about me after I have
been? Will they comment on my weight or size. Maybe I should phone the unit an explaain how I feel but even that is sacry. Its like making a will, you are actually admitting that you are going to die and that is OK! Hubby dealt with all that. I said I'd go for my screening when he went to get his 'bits' checked!
Does anyone else feel like me? Any advice?
