Today's the day... the BIG squeeze... mammogram day. I've avoided having a mammogram for the last couple of years so I HAVE to go today. My mom is a breast cancer survivor after having a radical matectomy over 20 years ago. She's done great. But here's a reminder to all you ladies out there, to get that mammogram. It sounds like a commercial, but early dectection really does save lives.
It's quick, it's uncomfortable, it's peace of mind.

PM Update: It's amazing how stressed I get about mammograms. They take a half an hour, and although it's a little uncomfortable it's really no big deal. The nurse was very kind and gentle, and with digital imaging it doesn't take nearly as long. Now I wait for the letter that says everything's fine... which I'm sure it will be. Don't have to do that again for another year!!

YES! I love a mammogram (for other reasons than the awkwardness of getting a squeeze). I have been getting them for the last two years (early prevention... both grandmothers died from it and my mother has had it twice). I love going and doing my part to help detect it early... it also is a great reminder to friends and family...
