Mammogram on a bus!

Yes, the mobile units are very helpful for many women having mammograms. My local cottage hospital has a mobile unit, and I have attended.

Thank goodness I did!

I think it’s fine, it’s a routine screening only service offered to all women in a certain age group, so it doesn’t reveal anything about you - other than that you’re sensible enough to want screening. Our service has always been provided in a mobile unit here, it travels to different areas every week so it is easiest for local women to access.
It wouldn’t bother me personally if I needed chemotherapy in a mobile unit either, because I think if I was feeling really unwell I’d rather be as short a distance from home as possible, and that would override any embarrassment.

I used to go to a Morrisons car park at one time. I can't say it ever worried me. Mind you I lost my last shred of dignity many years ago.

As I am over 71 I am no longer called and have to arrange my own mammograms which is a bit of a bummer.

I had mine in an Iceland car park in a mobile unit. Didn't bother me at all. All that bothered me was the quality of 'care'. The nurses were brilliant, i couldn't praise them enough.

That's been going on for years... It's a mobile unit I think it's a brilliant idea always have.
