The Mammogram


Well, today I had my first mammogram, and I must say it was quite an awkward event. I never knew my breast could be mashed up in the manner that they were. I'm quite surprised they bounced back considering the aggressive pancake making process they went through. It was like being man-handled, but from a woman and a machine. Actually, in all reality, it is a very necessary procedure that women approaching middle age must go through. The woman taking the x-rays and groping my breast was actually very professional and understanding of just how embarrassing this procedure can be for some, and although I was uncomfortable I did it, and I would do it again if needed. Breast cancer is serious, and better caught early on. So ladies, examine your breasts! If your somewhere close to 40, schedule a mammogram or speak to your doctor.
