Mammogram

Kind of funny, but.... I'm at the radiology dept getting my yearly mam... They make you wait after to make sure they got good pictures.... The tech comes in after about 15 minutes (I'm getting nervous at this point)... and she says there is a problem.... When my heart left my throat I asked "what is it? cancer?"... She's like "no, no, I'm sorrry, I just need to see your health card and ID" So now I'm confused and I give her my stuff... She said "There's the problem... You've lost a ton of weight."!! Now I'm really confused... She explained... "The Dr said I had the wrong patient because you mam films were less than half the volume." She said that I was all set and that I could go. So I went home and had a drink to my old 44D's. Gone, but not forgotten.. Kate Z

I'll drink to that ! Bit of a scary journey ...till the compliment in their punch line in radiology. Whew ! Bless the girls. ;) Have a relaxing evening. Mary

That's funny. Glad it wasn't anything bad. I had a similar thing recently. The tech came in with a large size film, which she had picked out based on my last year's mammogram. She looked at me, at the film, and went are you Eileen N? She had to go get a smaller film. Eileen

Here, here. Or is it there, there? Or perhaps, lower, lower. I warned them at my last mammogram. I've lost alot of weight. The gal opens my gown and says "Mmm, hmm, hold on" and she gets a much smaller plate for the machine. I told her she wouldn't have to compress much - they are pre-squashed. Kathy

I'm gonna use that next year -- "pre-squashed". I swear the last few pounds I've lost have all come from my breasts and my fingers. *{ Eileen in my winter hat, it's so cold here (not) -- 90 degrees today (yuck)

90? Wow. Kathy with her pre-squashed fruit roll-ups... (.)(.)

Kate, I had a similar expirence this week. When I went to get mine the tech had to go and get the smaller films. Julie

Kate, I've lost so much weight, but not in the bust size...they still need the big films. But because I've lost so much weight in my back area, they are much harder to counterbalance! You made me smile! Lori
