mammogram 2023

Ouchie time again. I got on the programa mamograma back in March, expecting to get a call sometime later this year (since my previous mammogram had been in August 2021). But then suddenly there I was yesterday at way-too-early o’clock ready to get my boobs smashed and hope for the best. And basically that’s what they told me. That if I don’t hear back from them in the next 2 weeks that means I’m okay. So it’s like a no news is good news situation, but waiting for nothing bad to happen really isn’t one of my virtues (what? me worry??). Anyhow, fingers crossed as usual.

programa mamograma

There’s a preventative breast cancer programme here that keeps you on file to remind you to get a mammogram every two years. Apparently I was taken off the list when I didn’t reply to the notice they sent me in 2010. I don’t even remember this but as I had just come through second chemo and was getting PET scans every six months I guess I didn’t think it was necessary? Well apparently… wrong! Anyhow, had a mammogram done in August 2021 via my GP and today I called up the programme to get back on the list and… yes! I will be advised about the next mammogram which will be scheduled for August 2023. These fuckers are never fun, but neither is cancer, take it from me. So if you are able to do so, make sure you get screened every two years. Take care xx

mammogram

So I cannot believe it’s been… 12 years!!!… since my last mammogram. Once again I had been under the impression that with all the CT scans a mammogram was superfluous. Honestly, I should read my own blog more often because it would have reminded me that this WAS NOT TRUE. Anyhoodle, today was the day. Popped over to the hospital and was in and out in less than ten minutes. Now I have to wait two weeks for the results, so fingers crossed everybody. The next abdominal CT scan should happen towards the end of October, still waiting to get the official appointment. How was your Monday?
