Please, ladies, get a mammogram - they're really not bad!  Takes 10 minutes
and they don't hurt

Over here they're free once you're over 50 and you get them every so
many years but it's the getting them bit....I turned 50 last November
and assumed that the local health service would send me a birthday
card along the lines of "Happy 50th birthday! Call the number on the
card and we'll book you for mammogram- so we can do our bit to make
sure you have many happy returns"

Last week my GP sent me one of those letters about their upgrading
their computer system and as they haven't seen me for a while if I
don't reply they'll assume I don't want to be on their books anymore
(They did once send me a letter that actually read "Dear Ms Madigan,
According to our records you have not contacted this practice since
2001, if you have moved from the area or died would you please advise
us of this fact"- I toyed with walking in and telling them I was dead
just for the look on their face!) so I wrote back pointing out that I
am now over 50, have a probable family history of breast cancer (my
mum didn't come straight out with it but when she mentions rashes on
her breast then ends up in hospital and dies of a heart attack
secondary to pulmonary embolism with the third cause being metastatic
liver disease- I think I can work out where the primary was). can
they please send me details/book me an appointment for a mammogram

If they don't come back soon then I'll chase it up myself
