"Breast screening follow up appointment"

About: Lincoln County Hospital / Breast surgery

(as a service user),

The nursing team and both consultants I saw did a brilliant job of putting me at ease... I was very concerned to receive a letter asking me to go back for further tests following my annual mammogram. There is a history of breast cancer in my family and it's something I worry about a lot.

How could you improve:

1) It would be a massive weight off my mind if you would test me for the Barack gene, I don't understand why you can't.

2) The letter didn't explain anything and worried me for 48 hours prior to my appointment. I have a diagnosis of anxiety and depression I feel you could improve the whole experience by either giving more information in the letter you send or by phoning and offering a more detailed explanation as to why you are recalling people.
