Oh crap. I need to get my boobs squished, too.

They should make men put their testicles in that vice of a machine, to check for testicular cancer. I bet there'd be a big push for ultrasounds then!

footfootfoot · 10-31-2011, 11:11 AM

I have never recommended boob squishing.

monster · 11-01-2011, 09:01 AM

I have a bruised boob this morning

I find it hard to believe it was from the mammogram (it's actually above my boob kinda level with my armpit) but can't think what else it could have been caused by....

infinite monkey · 11-01-2011, 09:05 AM

I used to get bruises when I worked at the bar and the club: you'd be so busy you didn't even notice you'd bumped into something, until you saw the giant bruise the next day.

As 'on the go' as you are, you probably bruised your boobeh out of sheer enthusiasm.

monster · 11-01-2011, 09:07 AM

I do get lots of unexplained bruises, but usually on the limbs. Still, could be......

although the tech was trying really hard to make sure she squished some muscle.

it really didn't hurt though.

Trilby · 11-01-2011, 09:25 AM

the tech needs to squish some muscle. The radiologist wants to see that muscle, baby!

that's how you know you've got a quality mammogram - you see muscle in the oblique and also a "bacon strip" of flesh from the inferior margin.

still, I"m sorry about ur boobeh.

My Mum forwarded on an email about mammograms the other day.
Something like - to prepare for a mammogram, slam your breasts in a garage door for approx an hour, then scrape them over the rough concreete floor.

She wants me to push for having one early, as Nanny died (probably) of breast cancer - it was hard to say by the time they realised she had it. Aunty Mary and Cousin Susan - Nan's sister and her daughter - both had it, one died one survived. And of course Mum had a lumpectomy the other year.

She's not selling it very well though.

Go ... Now.
Breast cancer runs pretty strong in my sis-in-laws family. She is the oldest living female in the family at 51.

The 'rents are making something garlic-heavy for tea.
I'm not hubgry - I had haddock over an hour ago.
My mouth is watering nonetheless.

Gaaaaaaarliiiiiic!

Um... ah... yeah.

infinite monkey · 11-01-2011, 02:26 PM

mmmmm haddock!

monster · 11-01-2011, 02:58 PM

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.

infinite monkey · 11-01-2011, 03:06 PM

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.

Sundae · 11-01-2011, 03:12 PM

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.
