Title: Mammogram at Letoon
Post by: Rindaloo on November 23, 2009, 15:47:01 PM

Has anyone had a Mammogram at the Letoon?  Having had one at Esnaf that Ege uni said wasnt any good, I was wondering if Letoon would be any better (as I am due a check up).  Please PM me if you'd rather not post on this thread....  :)

I am worried now. I had a mammogram at the Esnaf. I would be interested to know the details about the letoon. I am also due for another one.

If you're paying for it yourself, it's worth checking the price to have it done at the Devlet.

In a way price isnt the issue, its more a case of how good is the Mammogram itself.

I don't know how you'd measure how good a Mammogram is. :-\

Do you mean the quality of the result/picture?

Rindaloo, as you know I've just been down that mammogram road myself.

In 1 day at the Devlet Hospital in Calis I had Blood tests, Mammogram, Chest X-Rays, and an Ultrasound. Was seen by one of the leading Surgeons in the area, Had a biopsy and after care, and all lab results in the space of approx 3 weeks. All their equipment is modern and although I can't say I'm an expert on the quality of pictures from these machines, they are all perfectly sharp and crisp.

When all the results came, they knew there was something not right and with the speed of sound in I was put in the hands of the best Oncologists at Antalya University Hospital.

I have absolutley no complaint about the staff, service or speed of diagnosis from the Devlet Hastane, they were fantastic and special thanks goes to DR Hakan for his invaluable help with the language. I start my Chemo on 4th December in Antalya

Thanks so much for that.  Yes I did mean the quality/result of the picture.  Ege Uni said the ones I had had done at Esnaf weren't good.  They were "too light and badly positioned".  Ege did their own and you can certainly see the difference.  Esnaf say Ege is bound to be better.  That is something that is a matter for discussion, I suppose.

Ceni, best of luck with your treatment.
Lynne, I had mine done at the Letoon, but, as I did not have to take it elsewhere, I could not really comment on the quality.

Didn't they give it to you to keep?

Do you think it could become the latest thing in designer decor?

I have 2 carrier bags full of them as I had a MRI 2 weeks ago too.
