      Thank You         
 
  I went for my mammogram today,
   I had told a few of the "girls" I
   would do it after April 15th.
 
     I was 6 years behind~ I got a
  good report today. No change. All
   is well. How do I thank the friends
  that badgered me into going? Snacks?
 
   You guys are the best~ I can only
   say a heart felt "Thank You!" <3

PS.  Why do people say it hurts? It
     didn't hurt in the least bit, on a
      scale of 1- 10 I give it a -2-.

    Still waiting on the results of my second one. They said there was abnormalities in the first and had me come in for a second set. Same as last year so I'm not concerned. Glad yours were good.[THUMBUP]

    no change is good news[THUMBUP]
  • wendysuz said 2 years ago
    Badgers, while generally considered ugly little animals to those of us who did not go to the University of Wisconsin, do have their uses! [SMILE]They are very fierce and tenacious as witnessed by Cindy's getting the testing done! YEAH!!! [HEART][HEART] I'm glad you got a clean report! [THUMBUP][THUMBUP]
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    Wendy, I had put it off, my family was so worried. My Mom had breast cancer 15 years ago. I don't smoke or drink, I did breast feed and thought my risk was low. They had to repeat the test THREE times today. The machine was too GREY... being a nurse, I immed. thought the worse. Finally a tech came in and recalabrated the machine. All is fine..Thank you JESUS!!![HEART]
  • wendysuz said 2 years ago
    How frightening!! I would have been bonkers, even not being a nurse!! [OHMY] Isn't it funny how we put off things we dread, even when we know we'll be better off afterward? I am really glad you went and put everyone's mind at ease.[HEART][HEART][HEART]
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    You know what is crazy... I would have anxiety about it for years, then one day last week, I called the office and told them to schedule it. I was ready. I woke up and was ready to do it. How much sense does that make?[HUH][ROLLEYES][HEART]

    [THUMBUP] Always have your scheduled checkups. Negative reports are always great.
  • dawgnurse said 2 years ago
    Right on! Amen! You go girl! Thanks! Negatives are positives in this case.[HEART]
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    I know.. I did it to myself, either way, I was willing to suffer the actions, thank God I didn't have a bad outcome. I'm lucky![THUMBUP]
  • dawgnurse said 2 years ago
    If my little VW was pink, that could be you and me going for ice cream after the mammogram![HEART][HEART][HEART][HEART]

    congrats! This is good news when I've been getting so much bad news lately. [SMILE][SMILE][SMILE]
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    yep, it was a relief.. I did it to myself though, all that waiting and anxiety for nothing.[HEART]
  • Percivel said 2 years ago
    I am thinking of all kinds of sexist things to say, but will remain silent. Breast cancer is far to serious for me to make light of it, even if it might be funny.

  • docrock said 2 years ago
    You are such a positive thinker. Now that you have no more errands, get busy with a fruit cake.
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    it's on it's way Pop![HEART]
  • docrock said 2 years ago
    :My Goodness. Your response came before I hit the print key.
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    do you two like butter rum????[HEART]
  • docrock said 2 years ago
    Of course.
  • JOEZsREPUBLICANPAGE said 2 years ago
    [OHMY] That's not what my wife says ,,, she says it's a6 or 7 and wants to know if I would like to have my "prostate checked that way ???[OHMY][SAD][SAD]
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    I think it is in the technique of the person doing it... mine was painless...
  • ChihulahuaLover said 2 years ago
    Well, they need a little of that technique here Cindy. I hear your wife Joe. So true. I have NEVER had one that was pain free.[OHMY][ROLLEYES]
  • hopefields said 2 years ago
    hehe I've never heard of a painless mammogram. But then, I've never heard of a 'happy period,' like they are advertsiing now, either. hehe
  • elkhound said 2 years ago
    well it doesn't hurt as much as it is severely uncomfortable. I think the bigger the breast the more uncomfortable! [LOL]
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    I've been with MEN who had a hard GRIP![LOL][LOL][LOL][LOL][LOL][LOL][LOL][LOL][LOL][LOL][LOL][LOL]
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    that's suppose to be HARDER
  • handsoftissue said 2 years ago

  • jwrone said 2 years ago
    Thank you for going and getting the mamogram done. We lost my wifes mother to breast cancer some years back. She never got to see her daughter as a bride and we miss her every day. It's never something to be put off.[HEART]
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    [OHMY]awww... now I feel guilty, I know there was not excuse but fear will get ya sometimes. Thanks for the note.[WINK]
  • jwrone said 2 years ago
    Just keep going to your appointments.[HEART]

  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    awww.. thanks![BLUSH][HEART]
  • gwensgifts said 2 years ago
    great post Cindy. I'm still on the young side of needing it but must admit I haven't had a female exam in quite some time and I know that's just as bad[SAD]
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    now now, we will have to get onto you Gwenyth![HEART]
  • greeneyedgemini said 2 years ago
    I'm scared to have one - I think I have a few years to go..... Don't I??[OHMY]
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago

  • greeneyedgemini said 2 years ago
    [LOL][LOL]
    Don't worry.... I'm right behind you!!!

    [HEART]
  • KDawg said 2 years ago
    I am so glad you got that over with and it was all clear!!!
    I am not looking forward to that business - at all... [THUMBDOWN]
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    people had me so scared, it makes me angry to think I put that much stock into what they said..."Shame on me!"[HEART]
  • veleska1970 said 2 years ago
    happy to hear your mammo came out allright. ][THUMBUP]][THUMBUP] never had one but it couldn't possibly hurt more than a root canal, i reckon. and i've had three of those.

    i'll give the details on the new man soon.........[HEART][KISS][HEART][KISS
  • biggdawg49 said 2 years ago
    Congratulations on the wonderful news!!! P found out that the lump they found during her mammogram was NOT cancer. [THUMBUP]
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    always a happy day... when you get a clean bill of health.[THUMBUP]
  • bamick said 2 years ago
    [THUMBUP] It's good all is well. I did it once last year as breast cancer runs in my mom's side. Tolerance to pain varies in people, so it's good that you we're fine with it. But even if it is painful, we still have to go through it just to make sure we're clear and don't get the most painful consequences. [HEART]
  • MentalHealthRN said 2 years ago
    thanks... of course it varies, and my anxiety was much worse than the pain.[OHMY][HEART]
  • bamick said 2 years ago
    in such situations, i guess it's always better to hope for the best but expect the worse [SMILE][HEART]
  • LovelyLinda said 2 years ago
    glad you did this- i get an annual "mashing" - and yeah it does not feel real good- but worth it just to know i am a OK--- LL
