“Mother Nature Wants to Droop”

No truer statement was ever uttered to me during a mammogram. As a well endowed woman of a certain age there is not much I can do to reverse what has already happened.

Regardless it is important to get your yearly squishing no matter how much it hurts. The flattening of the the breast between the plexiglass plate and the machine is not the worst thing. The holding your breath through the pain so they can get a good imagine is the worst part. I swear my tech makes me start holding my breath more seconds before hand than are necessary.

Thankfully I did my part well enough that I didn’t have to have extra pictures taken. I will now wait for the results. Don’t put off getting your annual squishing. I had two friends this year with breast cancer who are both clean now thanks to early detection and good medical care. But if you don’t get your mammogram you won’t find it early enough if it is going to happen. Pray it doesn’t happen, but if it does, fix it fast.
