Very funny! And I wonder what happens if a lady has 'enhancements' - doesn't the silicone pop?

A mammogram is no picnic, but it is a necessity.

A great one, Vogue. Reminds me of an email I got about practicing for a mamogram; put your boobs in the door of your fridge and slam it shut. Then lie down on the floor of your garage and have someone back the tires over your breasts. I have very cystic breasts and they feel like popping balloons every time I go for one of those tests!!!

Excellent and thought provoking
What a hooter. I remember the first lump I found (1983). It was 6 months after I had to have a hysterectomy and (L) ovary removed for a precancerous condition and then 7 weeks later my (R) ovary ruptured and had to be removed. The radiologist did the mammogram and I remember he came back into the room and said both breast were full of lumps. I nearly passed out and threw up at the same time. He was so compassionate, not. He then showed me what the pictures looked like and pointed out each lump. My knees were week and I thought I would pass out. Then he said it looks like fibrocystic breast disease. Discussion over and done with. I was too numb to speak. I left thinking I would have to have a double mastectomy. Thank God I found a good surgeon who explained that I just needed to quit caffiene and take Vitamin E. I did have to have a lumpectomy and because of this being my 3rd surgery in a year, I went to sleep with a double set up for a lumpectomy and if needed a mastectomy. So you don't know what you will wake up to have had. I only had to have the lump remove and it was benign.
The second lump was in the same breast 6 years later. By then the boob smasher had been invented. I underwent that lumpectomy at my request with the use of local anesthetic and self hypnosis. I was the first patient to ever do this and it freaked everyone out except my surgeon. That lump was benign also. All lumpectomies are now done under local anesthesia and versed.

That's what creativity does Vogue...
My favorite Tamil actress lost both her breasts to breast cancer. When I got to know about it I felt a pang inside me. It is not so much about the beauty or attractiveness breasts give a woman. It is in deed the symbol of motherhood. The main reason for most diseases is awareness or the lack of it. Now I got to know what a mammogram is all about. Thanks Vogue. However, it will be useful for women in my family only... Loll...

So funny loll... I have had those same thoughts every single time I had a mamogram. You are right though in that we should heed the warning. Seriously
