I have mammograms yearly and being a cancer survivor, pelvics too. I found the mammogram to be least troublesome of the two and as someone mentioned , its often determined by the attitude of the tech performing it. You have to consider they may not know you are butch or have strong feelings about the procedure. Plus the fact they spend their day smashing peoples breasts so to them its just another customer. You just have to wrap your mind around the fact that its a necessary thing as early detection is key, take a deep breath, endure the discomfort and know that when its over you're in a better place. I found the pelvics to be much more invasive, painful and disturbing for me as a butch, but even that eased up after one of my doctors paitently explained to me..."just tell them to use a smaller speculum". Good luck with it and I hope all goes well.
