Hi,
I have had three mammograms in the past five years. One, at age 35, another last September and again this month. On each occasion the consultant has felt it necessary (ongoing breast pain and lumpiness).
I am now really really worried about how much radiation I will have received and if I have now increased my chances of actually getting breast cancer. I really wasn’t keen on having the third mammo this month but he said he definitely wanted me to have it (ultrasound and clinical exam were fine). I totally trust him so went ahead.
I shouldnt have googled but I did and have scared myself silly about what I have exposed my breast tissue to. I do have small breasts.
Any words of reassurance? I know I cannot do anything about it now as what’s done is done. But, it is causing me sleepless nights
