How to prepare for your 1st mammogram (funny!)

[Sandal16]

Many women are afraid of their first mammogram, but there's no need to worry. By taking a few minutes each day for a week preceding the exam, and doing the following practice exercises, you will be totally prepared. And you can do this right in your own home!

Exercise 1:
Open your refrigerator door and insert one breast between the door and the main box. Have one of your strongest friends slam the door shut and lean on the door for good measure. Hold that position for five seconds (while you hold your breath). Repeat again, in case the first time wasn't effective enough.

Exercise 2:
Visit your garage at 3 am when the temperature of the cement floor is just perfect. Take off your clothes and lie comfortably on the floor with one breast wedged under the rear tire of the car. Ask a friend to slowly back the car up until your breast is sufficiently flattened and chilled. Turn over and repeat for the other breast.

Exercise 3:
Freeze two metal bookends overnight. Strip to the waist. Invite a stranger into the room. Press the bookends against one of your breasts. Smash the bookends together as hard as you can. Set an appointment with the stranger to meet next year and do it again!!

CONGRATULATIONS!
Now you have nothing at all to worry about when you go for your Mammogram!

I go for my first one next month and I'm scared to death.
Only because I have that fibrocystic stuff that makes it worse.
Doc said they are much more gentle these days.

Guess I better follow your advice!

AndersonGal, the exam is just like that, except they put your chest on a slide and then squeeze the machine down around your chest so it flattens them. Not too pleasant, but nothing you can't endure. Just don't eat alot of chocolate, anything that will make more cysts in the breasts before you go, that way it won't hurt as much. I go once a year for mammograms. It's a good thing to have done. Don't worry, the exam only takes a few minutes.
