So I did it. I picked up the phone and made the appointment. When I arrived at the appointed time, I noticed they had a sticker on my folder that said "FIRST TIME", so they took extra time to make sure I was o.k. at every turn. The mammogram process was not difficult. Yes, some of the time I was uncomfortable, but I was never hurting or in pain. I went home and waited for the phone call that I need to come in again. But it didn't come. What did come, yesterday, was a letter in the mail from the radiologist that there was no sign of cancer detected and that the films will be kept to compare with next year's scan.
To my friends and family, those battling cancer and those who inspire and love me: Thank You! I'm so glad I did it. And if you should, please do it. If something does happen to be wrong, it's much better to find out while something can be done to save you!
My card says "Think Pink" with the awareness ribbon, so it would work for thank-yous, encouragement, or thinking of you cards. It was created with the A Muse Studio set called "Fight Like a Girl", which you can get for free this month while supplies last (it's just a $3 charge for S&H).
