    Default Had my mammogram today!

    Went for my mammogram today. We have them every two years here and I think this is my fourth. It was definitely the best one I've had, hardly uncomfortable at all and the radiographer was really nice and gentle.

    Results will be back in around 10 days, so I'm hoping everything is OK although I've no reason to think it won't be.

    Julia, glad to hear that it was uncomfortable. I haven't had to have one yet, and I worry about them because of all the "pain" I have heard that is associated with them.

    Keep us updated!

    I get mine done every year, and they really aren't bad at all. For ladies with periods, schedule for right after the period.

    Hugs Julia, and mine all come back clear. In fact it's a good feeling getting those clean test results back.
