Hi everyone. New to the community but also new to breast screening.
I went for my first ever routine breast screening two weeks ago, and received a letter yesterday to ask me to go for more tests on Monday. I read all the information and realise that it may not be anything, but that doesn't stop you worrying does it?
I'm going to have a read through the group's, but just needed somewhere to speak to people in the same boat.
Thanks x
