Ladies only: Routine Mammogram tomorrow!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I started getting mammogram's a few years before I turned 40 because my mom is a breast cancer survivor. I have very small dense breasts so it's hard for the technician to position them accurately sometimes. I remember one time I had to get squished an extra 3-4 times. I was so sore and red afterwards. Since it is very painful, one of the technicians told me to take some acetomenophine before my appt. I've now done this a few times and it does help with the pain. I hope that you receive good results. Good luck.

My doctor calls me at home if I don't go in every year....and seriously the techs that I get have zero sense of humor....its already embarrasing and I try to joke and they always look at me like I'm crazy.
