M-gram

I had absolutely no intention of blogging about getting a mammogram today. It's painful and private. But I can't help it. There I was -- trapped in a huge vice grip -- and the tech said to me, "Don't move."

Are you kidding me?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

I love that picture! I was supposed to get a "m-gram" 4 years ago, and I chickened out. Then my OB told me to get one 6 mo. ago. I still haven't. I'm scared! (Since my mom had breast cancer, they want to be safe...) Ignorance is bliss????

Ellen I am so proud of you for having your Mammo! I have to have them early now since I have such a large family history of cancer and they are not fun but so important!!

I am sorry that it was painful, but I am glad that you are so on top of your health!!
(I take calcium, which should count for something.)
See you next week!!

They always tell me, "Don't breathe" and I want to laugh out loud... but I can't breathe.

Get one! Some dates are worse than a mammo! Childbirth is too.

My mother-in-law's breast cancer was found before it was even a lump because of a mammogram. My grandmother died from breast cancer in the early 80s. Her daughter, my aunt has been a survivor for 9 years.

Good for you, Ellen. I thought this post was great. I sent it to me sisters. I miss my mom every day and think if she only saw a doctor regularly and had the mammo early on, she just might be here today. I'll go in for my first mammo soon....not fun, but well worth it.
