They are now checked regularly.

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 8,791 Send Message	Definitely worth it. A few minutes of "discomfort" every two years is nothing! My aunt (father's sister) had a full mastectomy, if mammograms were around back then her life would have been very different! The technician said I was "very good", said she screamed & yelled when she had hers done. How did she do that? You're jammed in the thing, can hardly breathe! I haven't noticed mine pinging for years :-D :-D :-D :-D lol @ Mr M :-D

	BUT ................... it's worth it ............................ both my cancers were found by being squished neither could be felt, and would not have been felt until it was far too late for treatment. xxxx

	First time I went, I was all 'clamped up' when the nurse had to leave the room..... She left the door unlocked and a plumber walked in!!!! :-\| They also managed to pull a muscle in my neck - trying to get 'nothing' between the flat irons!!
