I wanted to share with you all my mammogram experience I had yesterday. (minus the frustrations I had with the clinic that performed the test)
I went in and filled out my initial paperwork. When called, I was taken into a dressing room with lockers and told to undress from the waist up. I was also asked to use a baby wipe to remove any deodorant I had on. (I am not sure why that was)
After a loooooong wait (hence the unmentioned frustration) I was called into the imaging area. It was a machine I stood in front of and she placed the girls (one at a time) on the square platform. She then pushed a lever that brought down a plastic square platform that squished my boobs onto the platform it laid on.
I was told to hold my breath and the picture was taken. (actually 4. 2 for each boob)
That's it. It was one of the easiest tests I have ever done. I'm glad it's over with and the good news is, my images came back clear. They said the lump my doc felt most likely was a cylce thing.
Just though I'd share!
