Reasons not to get a mammogram
 

if it's avaialable on the NHS/your insurance.

There are none.


Here's the good news, Sundae, it hurts big-boobed women far less, or so they told me. That gravel thing? bull shit. And there's no slamming, it's a slow firm squish.

It really didn't hurt me at all, It's a little uncomfortable is all -and since when were you a wuss anyway? A mastectomy hurts a whole shitload more. Woman up and get it done. It's not goint to stop you getting breast cancer, but if you catch it early, treatment can be a whole load less painful and more effective. And here's the thing they told me when I had my first mammogram 8 years ago (When I was 33), your first one is your baseline. The earlier you get it done, the better tool it is for later detection. If you get a baseline done when there's already a hint of something developing -say if you wait until your late 40s or even 50, it makes that thing harder to spot before it's too late.

And that's the only time I will nag you on this topic.

Agreed.

I had a baseline done at, I think, 40. But I should be going back. I read an article recently that there really aren't compelling reasons to get or not to get mammograms before 50. However, that's just odds, right? If you're the one with cancer, you don't care about compelling reasons. Especially with the family history.

My mom is with us today because she worked at the hospital, and it was so easy for her to get her mammograms, and they caught it so early. This was over 10 years ago.

It's weird.

Mum yaps on about it.
Yeahyeahyeah.

Someone online who I only know by her moniker.
Really? You know what? You talk sense, I'll go do it.

Tcha.
In my defence she does yap on about a lot of things.
Like trying to get me to wear a coat or jacket...?!
10 degrees or lower.
Otherwise? Shush.

Ta Monster, I will bring it up at my next appointment.
The next step is whether they pay any attention.

Ta Infi too, we posted at the same time.

I'm so tired but bored. I want to drag my arse up and do something, but I'm just so bloody tired. I don't want to go have a nap, because I want to save my tired for bed time so that hopefully tomorrow will be a more productive day, but still, I feel tired...and bored.

Entertain me. Please?

This is all I got. :)

Hang on, I'll ask UT to unban Jesspam.

Nah, Jesspam wasn't my idea of entertainment at all.

IM, that's a drag queen right? lol

Doing a Gypsy Rose Lee impersonation of course. Terrible lip syncing. lol

Hey! We get our prostates check by having a fist shoved up our buttholes. At least it feels like a fist.

Hey! Some people pay for that experience!

An online ad for a bar in a small town up north of here:

"We have 18 beers on tap!"

Gosh, I hope they don't get much of a crowd. That will run out quickly!

It's almost 90 degrees here at 10am and it's not even summer yet.

I think we're in for a hot one this year!
