Steam Roller Day

@cranky_granny I am sure they are more vigilant (vicious) on us with an already diagnosed breast cancer and/or history, to make sure nothing is missed.  :) You would think we would get used to these tests, but they don't seem to get any easier.  Glad you rewarded yourself with a nice lunch with daughter and grand daughter.

Glad you made it thru OK @cranky_granny xx. I've had extremely painful MGs  - but I was lucky & had minimal discomfort with the US - as my nodes were removed from under the skin rather than incision under the arm .... so no scarring.

All the best for the results xx

I have never liked having a mammogram, but never really found it painful to the point of needing panadol.  Although the last one I had in January was quite painful, and I think it has a lot to do with the operator.  I had to ask her to stop, she had grabbed some skin (flab) below my breast. I will definitely have panadol next time.  Two won't cut it for me, I will have three panadols!!!

All done. Rewarded myself with lunch with daughter and granddaughter. A few red marks but i survived. She didn’t see anything she wasn’t expecting 
results in a few days 

I can cope with the mammogram as I try to focus on the corner of the wall or something - usually I find a dirty mark or something !!!
Now I hate the ultrasound more as that deep massage (as you put it @cranky_granny) of the armpit is so painful.  I want to tell her to stop but know that she has to do it to be sure.  🤣🤣🤣

Sitting looking at the torture  machine squash then deep massage to come. Too late for the Panadol 
shes here

All the best @cranky_granny - the ultrasound shouldn't actually be painful - just 'cold & gooey & messy' .... it is the MG I hate!  :(  

I am sure if they used MG on men's testicles, they'd invent something much less painful VERY quickly!

GREAT idea @jennyss - I'd never thought of that!!  Will try it next time!

take care xxx

Good luck @cranky_granny. Wishing you all the best. @jennyss I think your idea of taking panadol is really good. Might do that myself for my next one.

For the first time last  year, I took a couple of panadol before my mammogram. It made a big difference - a lot less painful! lol

Good luck!
