As I've mentioned before, I'm high risk for breast cancer. As such, I undergo surveillance 4x a year (MRI, Mammogram, 2 clinical exams); had a breast reduction and walked in the Komen 3 Day. I'm also only 37.
Today I show up for my annual mammogram, and I'm already in a mood becuse a. My last one resulted in a biopsy. B. You're about to smash my boobs. C. I'm mentally preparing for another false negative since I'm still healing internally from the surgery.
The lady at registration says to me: oh my, you're so young. I responded: well, it's my tenth mammogram. Her: but you're so young. Me: yes, but I'm 6 years past my families onset age so I'm here all the time.
Then she walks me back back and gets the robe out. I said: opens in the front, stuff in a locker. She said: you really do do this all the time.
