I went and had a breast exam yesterday and my mammogram is scheduled for next Tuesday. It's kinda weird because the same thing they thought my ex had before they found out it was cancer, is my dx. I am not worried however.
What I learned yesterday was, even though I have had a complete hysterectomy, I still need to see a gyno for a yearly appt. There's always a "chance" that a "stump" or piece or the cervical could've been left which could cause cervical cancer. Because of the last time I saw a gyno, I REALLY do NOT want to go. I think I will just pray on it ![]()

After a total radical hysterctomey, oopherectomy and 16 lymph nodes removed for endometrial cancer in 2004, I thought I would be off scott free from those dreaded exams. They took it all. Right? Doc. said cells can start up, and best to be checked. SO, I had to go once a month for awhile, then every 3 mos, then 6 mos, for the first 5 years. Now, in my 6th year post op , I will go annually. I already have my appointment for May of next year, my 7th anniversary. My mammo results came back negative, and my other ...came back negative..so, imagine how positive I feel. Speshully since I though it should have been prostate cancer. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I am ashamed to admit this but I have not had a mammo in four years!!! My mother died of this disease and I am five years older than she was when she lost her life. I have no excuses other than I am scared to do it. I have the script on my desk (the second one) that the doctor wrote out two weeks ago when I went for my regular gyn check up. She examined my breasts then and found no lumps. I guess I have a feeling of complacency as well. Going to call the hospital in the morning to set up an appointment!

Wouldn't that be fun!!! There is a movement on that women who are having mammos (especially those with a history of breast cancer or a strong family history) should buddy up for these pictures. I would love something chocolate and very decadent!!! thanks Tommi!!

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!
