I d never had a mammogram before.
I didn t have a lump and I didn t have any of the other warning signs that something might not be right in my left breast. I am not really sure what made me think I ought to have one just before my 45th birthday. I had always thought you had to be 50 to get a free mammogram, but when I asked my GP I was told they were free from the age of 40.
