Mammograms

Thanks for the replies. We are aware of the whole men-can-get-breast-cancer thing. More importantly, we're already on top of this - as the mammogram is today.

I'm truly interested in hearing some of the personal reflections of butches and transguys who have been through this. I knew the emotional reaction was deep, but it really came to the surface today. I was told not go come along to the appointment, which I understand and respect. But, I do want to be prepared for what might come back home to me in a couple of hours.

Thanks,
Pink

ps- For those of you who know us in real life, I ask that you gently approach this topic with the utmost of discretion (especially if you see us this weekend at Pride). We're handling this seriously and are prepared to do whatever is necessary, depending upon the results. But, you know the ego we're dealing.
