Thank you Tommi!!! Because of this and because of this thread; I made my appointment! I get mammoed on the 27th!

I should know better than to go this long without doing this. Ten years ago, a vendor (and a friend) called my office on a day I was having a mammo and I told her about it. She was quiet for a few seconds and admitted to me it had been five years. I convinced her to call and go get it done. She had breast cancer the very beginning of the disease. She had to go through chemo and lost all of her beautiful hair but she lived!!!

So speaking out to other women encouraging them to take care of themselves can save lives!!! I am still scared. I get scared every time I walk into a place like that. I stay scared till the tech walks in and says "everything is ok. You can go home." Twice, I was made to stay for a redo and it is terrifying!
