Extra Mamogram

Extra Mamogram

Extra Mamogram I wonder if anyone out there knows if it is possible to have an extra mamogram. I was diagnosed last year and finished treatment at Christmas.

I have my first yearly mamogram tomorrow - bit nervous about that - but my husband and I are planning a very long holiday to Australia in the New Year. Of course I cannot get any insurance company to cover cancer and so I wondered if it was possible and indeed allowed to have an extra mamogram - which I know I would have to pay for - before my trip.

When I asked my oncolgist about only having yearly mamograms she said it was because they themselves are carcenogenic.

I am really unhappy to agree to a lengthy stay out of the UK without a clean bill of health before I go.

Any thoughts ladies!
