And it wasn't fun. I wouldn't elect to do it over, say, trying on clothes at the mall *shudder*... but that's a close call there.<br><br>What fascinated me were the little metal nipple indicators. I saved mine and was going to scan it and blog it, but never got around to it. That little technical thing probably kept me interested in the process and less about the breast sandwich.Mrs. Wonderfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07451524676168877227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840577.post-13596448975126935352006-03-04T00:12:00.000-05:002006-03-04T00:12:00.000-05:00Heyyyy, some of us LIKE Mince Pie :)Heyyyy, some of us LIKE Mince Pie :)MissMelisshttp://www.missmeliss.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840577.post-73272441781991993102006-03-03T01:19:00.000-05:002006-03-03T01:19:00.000-05:00*sheepishly hanging her head at posting many a dru...*sheepishly hanging her head at posting many a drunken escapade, although not for a long time*<br><br>good for you for facing the breat beast. i've not had to yet, but have had more than my fair share of other female probings.<br><br>no teaching today?nkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778646981353159902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840577.post-12420712675314066732006-03-02T22:41:00.000-05:002006-03-02T22:41:00.000-05:00What bozoette said.Maybe there is a modesty compon...What bozoette said.<br><br>Maybe there is a modesty component in the reluctance to have mamograms, pap tests, and the like. Perhaps rather than address this in public it's easier to build up the myth of the terrible Torture Device. <br><br>My worst mamograms were the 11 in one session by Ms Incompetent who couldn't seem to get a good pic of an area of interest. They finally sent me for an ultrasound of the region that cleared things up in 10 minutes.lifeonholdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759801713851912903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840577.post-19470908475586416552006-03-02T19:33:00.000-05:002006-03-02T19:33:00.000-05:00While I've never experienced out and out pain,...While I've never experienced out and out pain, that final squeeze always takes my breath away -- just at the exact moment that the tech says "Hold your breath".

I had a terrible time (probably amplified by the fact that they were looking for the lump that the doctor palpated). I liken the mammogram machine to a medieval torture device ... the boob vice. As the thing was clamped down on my mammary gland the technician said, "The further we can go, the better the result." So I let her crank it down another click and was horrified at the pain. Keep in mind that they don't diagnose testicular cancer via the nut vice.RiveterGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799853218857624566noreply@blogger.com
