Breast screening after radiation

Checking on it, a mammogram has approximately the same radiation as 6 transatlantic return flights.  I suspect that the safety benefits of a mammogram far outweigh 6 holidays to the USA!!

Incidentally a normal x-ray equates to one fifth of a return flight to the USA.

Go for it. It’s a lifetime of radiation to one place. I had a call for a mammogram jyst after us finished but put it off till the next round as I’d had a full body PET. That was clear. 

Hi

My mammogram was due 4 weeks after I finished radiotherapy.  My oncologist said it was fine to attend.  When they did the mammograms they were gentle as I told them I'd had radiotherapy to my neck and it was very tender.  Scans came back clear so that was a bonus 

Go for it
