Ya_Big_Tree Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I got a gyno appointment in a few weeks... not really looking forward to it. I think Im still too young to have to worry about getting a mammogram but still it's gotta be a scary thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate though that mammograms have turned into this painful, scary procedure with the possibility of making people avoid having them. I've mentioned this here already but I think it bears repeating - I'm high risk for breast cancer (my mother had it) and have already had two. Mammograms are relatively quick and actually not painful at all. Seriously, on the grand level of things that are painful a mammogram doesn't really register. Unless you're high risk, you won't need a mammogram until you're closer to 50 YBT.

I have to take tylenol before I go, but I do go anyway, because my mom had it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 3 weeks we're heading for our second mammo appt together, margaritas at her house after.  It's not pleasant, it feels uncomfortable, and you may hate it as much as I did...but I implore you...Find a friend, find a free clinic, get medicaid, whatever...but take care of you.

nettiesaur Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Mine was clear. Unfortunately, my boyfriend's mother's was not. Her biopsy is Monday. Could you all pray for her please? This is her 3rd biopsy in as many years. We hope this one shows nothing too, but the lump is bigger this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is as important as any other part of your health. I couldn't agree more !! Well said ! I never understood this fear thing some women have with the gyno. A pap literally takes a few seconds. And it isn't painful. It's only painful if you talk yourself into it being painful.  It isn't the most pleasant of things to do but I always use it as an excuse to treat myself to something special. I always schedule the appointment for first thing in the morning (that way, I get it done and over with AND am guaranteed no wait time), I take the entire day off and do whatever I want which is usually out for a really nice lunch with a girlfriend of two, expensive fancy drinks and buy at least one expensive item like a new purse or designer jeans. That way, I end up actually looking forward to going to the gyno!  And now, after having one kid and having a second one, going to the doctors is no big deal, period. Nothing's as painful as childbirth! Also, I guarantee you that cancer treatments are probably way more painful than a five second Q-tip swab.

Glad to hear the good news Queen & Blonde!!!!!!! After 3 months of various tests and a trip to the surgeon I got my all clear on Thursday! I need another mammo. & Ultra sound in 3 months! Don't wait & don't let a fear keep you from getting a mammo! It is far scarier spending months waiting for results or in cancer treatment!!! As far as the age, really talk to you Dr. I worked with a girl who at age 14 found out she had breast cancer.
