Mammogram next month

TheCatWoman

I'm sort of hoping my boobs will end up so droopy after this one that I will no longer need a bra and will be able to tuck them in the waist band of my knickers, lol.

Seriously though, aren't we lucky to have these tests on the NHS, I suspect many countries don't give them free to every woman over 50. The same with smear tests for younger women, I know lots of women hate them and are scared and find them embarrasing and invasive, but isn't 10 mins of discomfort every couple of years worth it when it could save your life?

  • I had my first mammogram fairly recently and was very anxious beforehand. A friend of mine said it hurt a little and I was worried about that and also about taking off my top half clothing. However it was a pleasant enough experience, the staff put me at ease when I explained I was worried and it was all done quickly and didn’t hurt at all!  I do think we  are lucky for our nhs.
