breast screening with overs?

I was convinced i wantes unders but now iv been told i have to have overs. I wasnt that concerned but i found a lump in my armpit, iv had it checked at docs and they said its purely cosmetic and will probably go away on its own, but do you think i need to tell the surgeon or oc before i get the op?
Its also made me worry about finding anything in the future, does it make it alot more difficult to check your boobs/get them checked if you have overs? My mam had a lump in her breast (which shes had checked and is fine too) and were no longer in touch with dads side of family but i know my aunt on that side had cancer, not sure if it was breast cancer or not, but its just made me panic slightly! Any thoughts? Thanks x

When I was reading up it is more difficult with overs but not impossible. You just need to tell the person doing the mammogram and they need to carry out more tests and other things as well. Not sure if you have to pay extra for this, that might ring a bell? I might be making half of this up lol but I know it said somewhere it’s more difficult but not impossible xx

My mum has overs and she had breast screenings as she had breast cancer (luckily taken out before it spread). But it was harder for them to do and it looked quite painful as they really had to squish my mums boob. But it was done so I suppose maybe it’s a bit trickier but can be done x

Yea my surgeon told me I need to inform them before I go for a mammogram so they can make adjustments because I’ve just had overs but not sure what adjustments they need to do xx

I was told you need to tell them so they know to do an ultra sound instead of the managram machine. Don’t worry Hun honestly x

Thanks girls! X
