I have been going since I was 30 (every six months) and I am now 48.
I had a partial mastectomy and go -- 1x a year for a Mammo and MRI and 2x a year for an Ulstrasound.
There is pain when the machine presses down on your breast -That pain is nothing compared to the treatment or the recovery of a mastectomy or the pain you will experience from dying from breast cancer --
I do not mean to be so harsh - but those are the facts.
Be lucky you have health care and can go. There are women in this country and others, that will never have the opportunity to feel the pain or save their breast or their lives.
