Hi, I am looking for advice, my mum recently passed away from secondary breast cancer, she was first diagnosed at the age of 41, was in remission then unfortunately the cancer returned, spreading to her lungs and liver. I live in such fear that I might be diagnosed. We both have under active thyroid and have read there is possible connections. I am 39 this year, I’m just wondering how I push for a mammogram and genetic testing? What criteria do I need to meet? I’m willing to pay for these but no one seems to help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated x
Hi Lea , very sorry to hear about your Mum. I’m sorry you haven’t had a reply to your query - may be worth asking this question in the Ask the Nurses section ?
