Get your mammogram!
I get asked often, “does it hurt?”
Yes… BUT
It does not hurt as much as 2nd degree radiation burns during treatment.
It does not hurt as much as the old school c-section style hysterectomy I had to get because I had to take meds to keep the cancer from returning that had the side effect of possible uterine cancer.
It does not hurt as much as a biopsy.
It does not hurt as much as a lumpectomy.
It’s cheaper than cancer treatment.
A mammogram led to early detection and I know that saved my life. It was worth 4 short, intense squeezes that take less than 10 minutes!
