I am a big proponent of Mammograms and those hideous, invasive Pap tests! My doctor suggested I have a mammogram when I turned forty, and my first mammogram ever showed two lumps, one in each breast. When I had my physical before that, however, nothing was felt! It took six weeks to get a biopsy done, and that's a whole other story, I got the results that they were benign, thank God!
Most women that I've talked with that haven't had a Mammogram, have been terribly afraid to get one because of the scary tactics some women have told them how painful it is!
Guaranteed that there is a squeeze factor involved, but for five minutes of discomfort, it can save one's life.
During that scary process I went through ten years ago and many mammograms through that period, and one now every year, I don't even hesitate for a moment to make that appointment.
Women with small breasts, it's unbelievable what those technicians can do with that factor!
About Pap tests, in the position on those stirrups telling me to "relax" is the craziest thing I've ever been told
