My First Mammogram

Posted on August 18th, 2008 by Jean

Today I went for my first mammogram. I was very nervous, but it wasn’t as bad as I had imagined.
 
A few things surprised me.
 
1) I got pasties! Why didn’t anyone tell me there’d be pasties? White ones with a little stud on the tip.
 

Ready for my close-up.
 
2) The machine didn’t squeeze that hard! I’ve known men with a firmer grip.
 

Ow!
 
3) Not only are you x-rayed head on, but also at a 42 degree angle.
 

I’m a pancake. I’m a fin.
 
4) I got a rose at the end of the procedure!
 

That’s more than the tomato squeezers gave me!
 
Have you gone for your mammogram yet?
