I went for a normal mamogram just before Xmas 2009. I then got a recall in January, but didn,t think too much about it. I made an appointment at the local hospital and had a 2nd mamogram. When the Dr studied my x ray he saw a shadow. There and then i had a biopsy, and was given a date to return for my results. It was January 20th '10, and i was given the news that i had breast cancer. I was devastated. Luckily it was early stage cancer. I had a lumpectomy op and some of my lymph glands removed. It hadn,t spread. I also had a course of radiotherapy.
Mamograms, although not a pleasant thing, certainly saved me from a more severe breast cancer
