I had my first one this morning. It hurt! :p

I can't believe I was stressed out about this though. It was really no big deal. :o:)

The hardest thing about it was giving up caffeine for two weeks ahead of time. (And really, that wasn't so bad...)

    Why did you have to give up caffeine?
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Apparently it makes it hurt more if you don't, but also it makes the x-rays easier to read. At least, that's what the tech told me today. :)

    ahhhh I see...

    Did it really hurt that much? I'd be terrified if I ever have to have one :o

    It hurt more than I expected, but since it didn't last long, it was bearable enough.

    I have one every six months (for now), and while I don't enjoy them, I can get through them pretty easily. It's worth it, totally.

    SOTD...if you have any family history, get one. :)

    I'm only 24 though.
    I think there's only been one case of breast cancer in my family (that I know of - my mother was adopted so there could be more) but I know there is definately a cervical cancer threat... and i'm not going to ignore that!

    I heard that the bigger your girls are, the more it hurts :eek: Not looking forward to that but soon enough I should start having them. I have NO idea beyond my mum what my medical history is. :o


    Everyone should take care of their boobies.

    Feel free to :)

    My mum is adopted as well hence I have NO idea what could be awaiting me. Hopefully, I fare better than my poor mum has :(

    Just know your gals, touch them often, and report anything that doesn't feel "right".

    Was it your Mom that had BC? :(

    I think it was... if you'd have used 'Mammogram technician' or 'radiographer' I'd have popped the boys out for you to have a look at... but alas, one slip up cost you your 'Career' as 'chief boob inspector' on The Pit *sigh* :rolleyes: ;)

    I believe you when you say you bear no ill will to any boob... probably quite the opposite infact, afterall, you're only male ;)

    D'oh! And I had paradise within my grasp (literally).

    Anyway, good luck and good health to boobs all across this great planet. I should make that my platform and run for office.
