OK, so this afternoon I am off for my tri-annual mammogram.
A friend suggested I prepare - so here goes....

1. Take a shower. Use unperfumed soap, DO NOT use deodorant, perfume or talc
2. Stand in the cold bathroom for ten minutes, naked from the waist up.
3. Progress to the kitchen, still unclothed.
4. Open the Refrigerator door and place one boob on the door seal
5. Now SLAM the door shut with the other hand.
6 .Whimper a bit
7. Repeat the process with the other boob.
8. Whimper a lot.
9. Return to cold bathroom, re-dress and have a cup of coffee
10. Repeat "OOOOhhhhhhhh" at least 20 times, and seek sympathy from husband/partner.
11. Refuse any intimate touching of the affected parts for at least one week.
12. Look forward to the next one!!

I hope this helps someone (tongue in cheek) It HAS to be done, but mammograms were DEFINITELY invented by a MAN!!

    Haha this is excellent advice! I wish I had read this before I got mine done a couple months ago. When I saw what was involved, I was thinking, "You have got to be kidding me. You are not seriously expecting me to stick my breast in that and let you squish it." lol.

    If this is what other women go through, they have my sympathies, my experiences aren't anywhere near so uncomfortable.

    Funny! For those that have to use deodorant because their appt is right after they get off work, they always have wipes there that clean the deodorant off. And wipes to put some back on! Good luck! :drinker:

    pretty funny, but that's not the case in my doctor's office. We have warmed plastic plates instead of cold steel, nice warm cloaks to put over our shoulders so only one breast is exposed at a time, and the whole room is warmed to our requested temperature as per a phone call the day before. I'm beginning to not mind having to go in every year any more. :)
