Today was my 4th annual mammogram after breast surgery in 2021.
The appointment always arrives in plenty of time in the time period promised April/May each year.
This year I was X-rayed by Ash who immediately put me at ease. Although I am used to the examination she explained every step and positioned me in an efficient way. I said you are an expert at this and she confided in me that she had been doing it for over 30 years - well you can tell Ash you are a master at your craft, thank you for your expertise.
