Wow Carole, sounds like I seriously need to look around then. Not to be too graphic but my first and only one so far was at age 30 and they had to do my right breast 8 times before giving up and doing an ultrasound. I was sick to my stomach and was on the verge of passing out by that time. It was extremely painful. I was told to have my next one in two years but seven years later I still have not gone back. I know I should and it's bad I haven't since my mother had breast cancer but the thought of it makes me so ill. I've promised I would start going regularly at age 40, three years from now.
