Mammogram

I went to an imaging office this morning and had my very first mammogram. 

WooT!

What's the problem here, ladies?  It was quick.  It was relatively painless.  (My breasts are about as sore as they used to be during my period...when I had a period) and the images popped up on the screen, toute suite, and the tech told me Dr. Cindy Lou Who should have the results by the end of the day.  Try getting CT or Pet Scan results by the end of the day.  HA!  That's a laugh.  You're lucky if you get them by the end of the week.

What is with all the whining about mammograms, women?

This was NOTHING, yet I was braced for pain galore when I went in because my friends had warned me that it was the equivalent of having your b00b smushed by a falling garage door.  It wasn't.  It was easy peasy.  Yes, my breasts went in directions that even I was suprised they could go, but the invconvenience and discomfort was momentary.  This is FABULOUS technology, ladies.  Trust me on this one.  That they could FIND CANCER via a scan is FANTASTIC, and sure as hell beats being sliced up the middle and having your innards removed and/or poked for hours on end, like when I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.  IT COULD BE MUCH WORSE.  Trust me on this one. 

Stop whining, embrace the technology, and take an advil if your boobs hurt afterwards.
