Boo mammogram today

[imimahoney]

After having a disastrous time booking this thing (ie a nosey ass nurse who decided to inform me of the reasons why a 29 yr old does not need one... which resulted in me telling her that yes it can happen young and yes I have a serious family history and even yes, you can die of BC before age 35) I am not looking forward to this at all. And of course, its not until 5:45 so I have to wait around all effing day for it.

Blah. I'd appreciate any good booby vibes that you have to spare.

Good boob vibes for you!! I had one when I was 21 and the process wasn't too bad. They also did an ultrasound to make double sure but everything was okay. Sorry you dealt with a shitty nurse

Good luck!

I had several mammograms before I was 25. I would often get people in the waiting room asking me why I was there and insisting it couldn't be serious. Really? I guess doctors just sent me here so they could smash my boobs for funsies! That shit is so annoying! Sorry you had to deal with it.

Good luck, I'll be thinking of your boobs!

Honestly, I would report that nurse. She shouldn't be making people feel bad and delve into hurtful memories.

Happy booby vibes coming your way!

Good luck! I also agree it is none of the the nurses business why you are having it done.

If you don't mind me asking, when did other women in your family get diagnosed with breast cancer? My mom, grandmother, and great-grandmother all got it between 45-50. I can't decide at what age I should start getting checked.

[imimahoney]

Thanks everyone. I'm hoping its a painless appointment!

My grandmother and great aunt both had it in their early 40's. My grandmother had it twice and it eventually killed her at 78. My mother found her lump at 31 and died at 36.

Eta: does your ob have any recommendations? I go annually and then after my next i will have the genetic testing done.

Oh man, so sorry about your mother.

That is definately good you are going in to get checked, if a single procedure can give you peace of mind, do it and don't listen to a nurse.

I didn't see your add on. My OB recommended 10 years before the youngest relative got diagnosed. So, she said she would recommend 35 for me, but I didn't know if that was standard or not.
