Hi Skarch33, I am due in early April for the big 1 year check. When my cancer was found it was with ultrasound, they then did mammogram, they did 2 films first,lump not shown, changed all the equipment and took more pics, all up they took about 6 pics. Lots of squishes and was very painful, I would suggest you have ultrasound first and then mammogram.
My breast is still very tender, lumpectomy was 30/04/13. Last radiation 30/06/13. Will be taking what ever pain killers I have, may even take something a bit stronger, think I will feel better if I am in la la land lol.
All the best
Viv
