Better Late Than Never
Ok, so the dreaded Mammogram....When you are 40 you should start. Lots of excuses not to, but none of them were good. You are not old enough to get started, at your age they would not even give you one as you still have elasticity in your skin. However, I saw the emails about practicing for one, laying on the driveway and having the car back over it again and again, or placing it in the refrigerator door and slamming it over and over...they were funny, but you get the idea. Did not look forward to it, but in all honestly, it really was not that bad. Was way quick and the pressure was not at all bad. the worst part of it was the skin under the armpit and top of stomach...and that was not even bad for more than a second, hold breath, let it out, you are done! So do not delay. 40 years old!!

ReplyDeletehttp://ww5.komen.org/BreastCancer/Mammography.html read this carefully. There is a lot of debate surrounding mammograms these days
ReplyDeleteI never worried that I had not gotten one. I am still not worried if I ever go back, although I am supposed to say to do so. I have had people in my life that had stuff checked out and was told it was nothing...months later checked out nothing, they go in a 3rd time, it is something and they are gone in 2 weeks. Honestly, in my opinion it happens with or without our help on some things. I do not have the desire to be on chemo and be so sick I would not enjoy my family. I understand it gives you some more time, and I may feel different if the time comes. I just feel that the time would be wasted if you could not enjoy it. I would rather make the most of my time by laughing and playing games and walking in the trees.
ReplyDeleteand PS in case you are wondering, my test was normal
