What happens at BreastScreen?

Talk to your family about your family history of breast cancer and family and personal history of ovarian cancer. Complete your registration form online or in paper form. Wear a top with trousers or a skirt. See your doctor first if you have breast symptoms.

Our female staff will explain what will happen. You will be asked to remove your top in private. Ask us if you would like a gown. The machine will press firmly but should not hurt. You can ask for the breast screen to stop at any time.

Your results will be sent to you in 2-4 weeks. We will contact you if more tests are needed. Most clients who are called back for more tests don’t have breast cancer.

Most clients are asked to return in two years. See your doctor if you notice any symptoms between breast screens.
