Have You Been Squeezed?

Just a reminder ladies, that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Have you been squeezed lately? I go for my mammogram tomorrow, so I thought I would remind the rest of you how important it is to get your annual mammogram if you are over 40. It is a year since I found the lump while I was in the shower and had to have a lumpectomy. I'm hoping tomorrow will show that all is well with me. So don't be a big baby, get it done for you and the people that love you. That includes me

It don't feel nearly as bad after wls either!  Thank goodness.  I don't know if it's the shrinking part or the just "tissue" part but it was a breeze this year.  Wishing you a clean bill of health Ronna. Christina

  I will be getting the order tomorrow for mine. I see my pcp then.  I hope everything  shows great for you. Lisa

Going for the annual breast pressing on Halowe'en!    I'll sure be witchy and _itchy after that!  Trick or treaters beware!  Just playin'- my oldest had stage 3 Breast cancer and I know how devastating the disease is to the victim and the family.  I'll say a prayer that you get a good report tomorrow-Hugs-Janet K

I'm not over 40 yet and have no family history of cancer so I get to wait a few more years.  But I do check myself monthly. Good luck Ronna, I will keep you in my prayers that everything is clean and non lumpy~  lol

Lucky You Darlin...  I'm 36 and have been having them for the past two years every 6mo.  Huge  history of Breast Cancer in my family and they have also been monitoring a spot. Christina

I did have a scare about 2 years ago when I was doing a self check in the shower and found a huge lump right near my underarm.  Of course I immediately started crying!  I called my sister and she went with me to the Dr.  The stupid practioner that I saw, said, "well it could be cancer, let's watch it for a couple of weeks and have you take some antibiotics"  Needless to say I went somewhere else for a second opinion and that Dr said, "it's NOT cancer, it's a swollen sweat gland!"  Talk about a huge relief.   You take care of yourself and make sure you keep on those mammys then young lady because you are a dear friend and now that I have met you, you are not going anywhere! 

Your letters are very inspiring to me.  I got my flu shot with your reminder and after my surgery I will set up in Jan for my mammo.  You are a gift to everyone on this board and I am sure with prayers and good thoughts things will be ok.  God Bless you Ronna

Ditto what Christina said.  I didn't hurt near as bad this year!  Another benefit of WLS. Pam

Hey Lady.. When is your big day?  I know it's coming up.   Christina
