I was recently recalled to ARI breast screening clinic after a routine mammogram. I was surprised as I had no symptoms - no lumps or bumps etc. However the mammogram had pick up some calcifications. I didn't even know that was a thing! I can't thank the staff at the clinic enough. My anxiety levels went through the roof after I had time to google what it actually meant.
The staff there are excellent. They reassured me, showed me compassion and helped me get my thoughts together. I had to get a biopsy which obviously I had not expected. Again they couldn't be more helpful. Fortunately after a ten day wait I got the all clear. I suppose I am typing this to not only thank the excellent staff, but to encourage women to get their mammograms - even if they have no symptoms.
"Excellent breast screening service"
