Derby Tup 11 Jan 8:27pm, 11 Jan 2024 63,633 posts	0 Derby Tup I had a follow up scan at Airedale and the guy running the machine, who looked young enough to be my son, had previously seen off quite well-advanced bowel cancer. Nice lad; really dignified and mature
Hanneke 11 Jan 8:31pm, 11 Jan 2024 117,935 posts	0 Hanneke Don't wish to scare monger but my sister's BC wasn't picked up at a Boob Squish, neither was my mother's. I deem it more important to squish my own boobs monthly. Neither of them did... I found that lump by doing so... A boob squish would have happened at least a year later... Possibly too late... So please, do both!

It just seems strange that someone younger than me can have it, but I have to wait. (I'm not desperate to have the vaccination, it's just the oddness of the situation that strikes me!)
