I had a mammogram twice, with last one about 15 yrs. ago or less. I'm fibrous in 1 boob. That was all. Was I stressed while waiting for testing? No.

Maybe I'm just dull in the head but after working in a hospital for a few years , where patients were paraplegics & quadriplegics, paralyzed for life and then hearing stories from siblings who work in health care about all sorts of deaths and accidents, a mammogram visit and results wait...needs to be taken into stride.


I'm 48...it has been recommended that I have another one. I found out the booking appointment list is several months long. But will book soon..after Christmas.

Velogirl...if I was in your position, it wouldn't be the mammogram waiting rm. stress but the fact that you are not covered by health insurance plan for other sudden accidents/diseases that may happen.


I'm Canadian....and most definitely prefer the Canadian health care insurance system if something wrong. occurs.


Best of luck velogirl!
