About this ebook
Going for breast screening can be worrying. For women with intellectual disabilities there is the added fear of not understanding what is happening.
This book can be used to prepare women before going for breast screening, and to increase breast awareness. In the first story, Beth gets an invitation letter for screening, decides whether to go, has a mammogram and gets the results. The second story shows what happens when Beth is asked back for further tests. The third story is about Sue, who shows how she checks her own breasts. She knows what is normal for her and what changes to look and feel for.
