I got my first mammogram twenty years ago when I was preparing for breast reduction surgery. I was a EE cup back then. I have distinct memories of that mammogram -- so with a B cup now, they're not so bad. Does that mean I sought them out just for giggles? Hell no! In fact, I made a face at my gynecologist last year when she said, "You're 40! That means you get to start having annual mammograms!" She was cheerful and stuff about it. I was like, "Eh."
So this was my second annual. I had scheduled it at a different clinic than I went to last year because they had the earliest available date. I was cursing that a bit because the clinic is five miles away and it took twenty minutes to get there with morning traffic that was trying to navigate new snow and people that still don't understand they are supposed to YIELD when traffic is coming from your left in the roundabout.
