Glaswegian bloody mindedness, that was my downfall. Just cos the nasty people at NICE said I couldn't have a mammogram for three years, even though my mother and my sister and my brother had all had breast cancer... I said they were being "irresponsible". The people at Guys told me my families cancers were 'not familial' so that was that. Fortunately I have a great GP who was on my side so I got an appointment at the imaginatively named 'breast' clinic.
There I was lectured on the amount of money mammograms cost and that I was only allowed a physical examination. Within seconds of the examination, the nurse said I should have a mammogram.
Oh bugger I thought, that wasn't in the plot...
