Mammogram

[mryrcn]

I had my first one today.  I didn't mind the squishing but I am anxious about the results.

How long will it take for you to receive the results? Good luck!

[mrsukyankee]

I'm up for my first next year. Good luck with the results!

I've been getting them for years now. I think I started at around 40. Is that not normal? Maybe I started them early because my mom had breast cancer.

Did you get the results back yet mryrcn?

[mryrcn]

It took 6 days! Most of my friends said they got their results back instantly. My boobs are all good. Yay! It's like the one part of my body that isn't failing me right now.

I attempted to jump off of a retaining wall last week, landed and heard something in my left knee crack. I'm finally going to the oath tomorrow. I have gotten some range of motion back but not enough.

scout8, - I'm sure it has to do with your family history as to you getting theme early. I've head conflicting reports about when you should start having them as well. I say it is never too early.

Yay for boobs being all good! Sorry to hear about the knee. Ugh.

40 is the current recommendation, at least for a baseline, but it seems like it changes a lot! Glad yours was good.

I am turning 42 at the end of the month, and I still have my script for my first screening mammo. I think it expires in May...I have to go for it before I go for my yearly. I am not really worried about it because I have no family history, but I seem to have some kind of mental block against just getting it over with.

Do it.  It isn't bad at all.  Paps hurt worse than the booby squeeze.

I had my 1st, at 40, last week. I've already been called to come back in for further screening. I was warned this is common for 1st mammograms as they want a good baseline since they don't have anything to compare it to. So I get to do that this week.

Wow, I feel very fortunate. I get my mammogram and ultrasound results immediately following imaging here. Been going to the same place for 15 years so I have quite an imaging history.

[mrsukyankee]

Had mine done and got back good results five days later. Pleased.

I’m only 37 so I haven’t had one yet but I’m terrified. I’m a small A cup and there’s really nothing to squish. Anyone know how they do mammograms for small boobs?
