Thanks. Am sure I will need hand holding when time comes! I was thinking of actually paying for one of those private one stop places where they do mammogram, then also do ultrasound and biopsy on same day if needed. But I havd also heard NHS breast care where we live is really good and better than private. My issue with the anxiety though, is the waiting time between getting results and next test / stage. I am still working with my counsellor on how to manage uncertainty, it is the hardest bit for me. My GP actually said that mammograms for younger women get more callbacks because their breast tissue is denser, which is also why they don't start them younger l, so I am fully expecting a callback when I have my first one.
