Yea, Me!

I (finally) had my first mammogram today!


And really, it wasn't an unpleasant experience at all.

No!

The place I went -- which is a women's clinic at a major medical university -- has a high tech scanner. There's still some pressure involved, because the tissue needs to be flat and smooth -- but it's not a huge metal torture device. The pressure plate on this scanner was clear plastic, not cold, and not painful. (And I have reasonably large breasts.) The female technician was careful and friendly. It wasn't painful at all.

Oh. Phew. ^^;

I have... bigger breasts as well and thats always freaked me out. And when I get really freaked out I wonder if they'll like.. pop under the pressure. ;_; Of course I know thats not rational but yeah. XD I never really knew what the machines were like, or if they had changed.

Thanks for the answer. :)
