My First Mammogram
Posted on August 18th, 2008 by JeanToday 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?
