Re: I thought I was dying

Now I wish I hadn't said anything. However, I know no one pays attention to
me anyway. Yes, I agree that mammograms are a necessity, painful or not.
They have saved many lives and forewarned a lot of women.

| PREPARING FOR THE YEARLY MAMMOGRAM

It was supposed to be funny, huh... I knew there was a good reason I
never
consented to the procedure. Now I'm sure I never will!

Try switching the joke around a bit and make it the annual
"testigram"....
Still laughing, sire??




Assuming that you're serious about never consenting to a mammogram because
of a joke...Many of us have found that a mammogram really isn't painful at
all. It's definitely not something I look forward to, but it also is not
traumatic. And it is *far* preferable to learning that cancer was in an
advanced stage before it was detected.
