2. Letter to Woman (ABNORMAL RESULTS)
Dear ---------
Recently, you came to our breast cancer screening service for a mammogram (breast x-ray).
Your mammogram was reviewed and an abnormality was found. While most abnormalities do not turn out to be breast cancer, they do mean that further tests are required.
Please make an appointment with Dr. (family physician's name) or Health Center to arrange for further examination. Your doctor or Health Center has been sent the results, including a copy of the radiologist's report.
I realize that this letter will concern you, so I hope that you will contact your doctor or Health Center in the near future for further follow-up. If you wish to discuss this letter further, please call me at (insert phone number).
Sincerely,
------------
