Today I went for my 3 yearly Breast Screening appointment.
Breast screening is crucial for early detection of breast cancer, which significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and survival.
Regular screenings can detect abnormalities before symptoms appear, allowing for timely intervention and potentially less aggressive treatment options.
It’s an essential tool in women’s healthcare for maintaining breast health and reducing mortality rates from breast cancer.
Many people know of at least one person they might feel close to, who has perhaps been diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer. The members of staff at our local Breast Unit are all such dedicated members of staff, who go over and beyond sometimes. They deserve tremendous support for the role they play in making everyone feel at ease and welcomed, from day one of their treatment or even if it is just for screening. They are an amazing bunch of staff.
I felt so at ease with the ladies I saw today, at my appointment. Thank you.
