Hi I've been given the all clear now on WLE and SLNB after stage 1B acral Lentigious Melanoma. My sister aged 50 had her call up for mammogram and results back DCIS. So an op soon. My older sister is in her 6th year of breast cancer clear since double mastectomy. I'm not due my 1st screening till 2021 (rotation of GP practice with Breast screening) could I get it earlier after past family history and my scare? Just for peace of mind. Losing both parents to lung and pancreatic cancer mind works overtime.
Hi Shelvox
That's great news that you have the all clear from melanoma but it's natural that you're now worried about the possibility of breast cancer as both your older sisters have had it.
Probably the best place to ask this question would be in the ask a nurse section and one of the specialist nurses will respond within 2 working days.
