Had breast cancer last year and have first annual check in 2 weeks and I’m getting anxious. Do they mammogram and scan. I had mammogram after diagnosis and it never showed anything  so not confident unless I also get scan. 

  • Hi Angy Pangy welcome to the forum. As far as im aware they only do a repeat Mammogram but maybe if you had a chat with them and explain why they may look at offering a scan. It's usually as I say just a repeat mammogram.

  • I had my first surveillance mammogram and was called back for a repeat. During the repeat they were still not happy so I was sent back to the waiting area whilst they organised an US Scan which showed scar tissue only, so I was clear.

    Not the nicest experience but happy in the end.
