Routine breast screening was paused during the pandemic and almost one million women missed their mammogram appointments. Many women will be living with breast cancer and do not know it.
Dawn Butler MP (a breast cancer patient) has launched an initiative #FindTheMillion to encourage women to book their 'missed' mammogram? If you are 50-70 years old, book it now and get checked! Or, regardless of age, if you have any unusual breast symptoms, contact your GP.
IMPORTANT: If you have dense breasts (which are normal) a mammogram alone may not detect cancer. Ask about your breast density when you attend. Take with you the Patient Fact Sheet: https://densebreast-info.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Patient-Fact-Sheet-English.July2022Final.pdf
