Today I had a mammogram.
I had been having pain in my left breast, and the doctor, after ruling out heart stuff sent me to get a mammogram.
I hate getting mammograms. I really do. My mom had breast cancer, beat it, and died of uterine cancer but I remember that horrible year very much.
I also have large breasts that don't like being squished.
But I have a girl who would be devastated if something happened to me so I went. I am fortunate, they have a radiologist there who will tell me what they see.
Nothing. Scan came back clear.
Exhale.
Okay.
Glad to hear your scan was clear. I know the feeling: I watched my mum die of breast cancer when I was 18.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your girl well
Ah, I work with many women with both cancers, helping them to maintain their sensual aliveness through treatment.
ReplyDeleteI hear your lament often and recite it myself when it's my turn for a mammogram.
The squish is the worst part!
Huge exhale. I was holding my breath as I started to read this post.
ReplyDeleteI'm due for a mammogram, and I hate them, too. Both the discomfort and the fear that they'll find something.
Glad to read that all is well!
