Dr Segun has order for some tests to be done.
The test include breast ultrasound scan,
Chest x Ray, blood test which include: complete blood count.
Finally, he schedule a time for the lump to be removed and the specimen sent for histology.

" This is why I do not present this for the past 2 months" exclaimed Miss Tayo.

It would be test after test.

" Doctors don't order unnecessary test. It is for your benefit."

"So you would pay part of the bill as my one and only sweetheart .... Doctor I mean". She replied...

"Sweetheart? Madam don't put in trouble.
It is unethical for a patient to call Doctor sweetheart."

When should I be back for my histology result. My heart is already pounding.

He gave her appointment.

When the result was out. The lump was a benign mass.
He reassure her. And encourage her to examine her breast regularly.

"Doctor, you would be doing that for me now"

"Madam...."
Don't call me Madam, my name is Tayo.

THIS IS A FICTIONAL STORY.
AIM IS TO DEPICT THE DIFFICULTY THAT PATIENTS EXPERIENCE AND ACCEPTABILITY OF CANCER SCREENING.
