RE: JUNE DIXON AND LUMPS/MAMMOGRAM (OT)

[Guest guest]

HI JUNE,

MY NAME IS CINDI, WHEN I WAS 21 YEARS OLD I HAD JUST HAD MY SON.

MY HUSBAND WAS THE ONE WHO FOUND THE LITTLE LUMP, BUT IT WAS THERE

AND THE VERY NEXT DAY MY OB/GYN HAD ME INTO THE CLINIC, I HAD A

BIOPSY 2 DAYS LATER, HE REMOVED 8 CYSTS....THEY WERE, THANK FULLY

BEGNIGN....BUT THOSE 2 DAYS WERE SUCH INTENSE FEAR FOR MY HUSBAAND

ME.

MY DOCTOR, SAID THAT ANY LUMP UNDER MY ARMS OR ON MY BREASTS,

STILL IN THE FUTURE COULD BE SERIOUS AND I WAS TO GET A BASELINE

MAMMOGRAM AND THEN IF THAT ONE LOOKED OKAY EVERY 2 YEARS. NOW, THAT

I AM 45 I HAVE HAD A MAMMORGRAM EVERY SINGLE YEAR FOR THE PAST 10

YEARS.....

THEY PINCH A LITTLE, THEY ARE NOT THAT PAINFUL THAT YOU NEED TO

EVEN THINK ABOUT IT AFTER WARDS.... WHAT IS MORE PAINFUL, HAVING

CANCER ?

CHILDBIRTH ? HAVING YOUR PERIOD ? YES, THOSE ARE, BUT NOT A

MAMMOGRAM.

THE PEACE OF MIND IS WORTH REAL PAIN !

THAT DOCTOR DID YOU A DISSERVICE TO TELL YOU A MAMMORGRAM WAS NOT

NECESSARY, AND THE LUMPS UNDER YOUR ARMS ARE STILL THE SAME KINDS OF

LYMPH NODES THAT CAN BECOME CANCEROUS.

I CAN NOT URGE YOU ENOUGH TO GET A MAMMOGRAM. IT IS THE VERY

EARLY LUMPS THAT YOU CAN NOT FEEL AND ONLY A MAMMOGRAM CAN DETECT

AND A DOCTOR THAT READS THAT MAMMOGRAM. I HAVE TO HAVE MY HUSBAND

DRIVE ME 4 HOURS EVERY JANUARY TO GET THAT MAMMOGRAM, AND NEVER

WOULD I EVER MISS ONE.....

BEST OF LUCK TO YOU JUNE, BUT I FELT I HAD TO TELL YOU MY STORY,

I DO NOT WANT YOU TO BE MISLEAD BY ANYONE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.... WE

HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY OUR MOTHERS AND GRANDMOTHERS DID NOT HAVE, FOR A

REASON.! WE NEED TO USE IT, YOU HEALTH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

THAT YOU OWN AND YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF IT.......

SINCERELY, CINDI

Wow, I did not feel a thing and I have had two done now. You must

have had a bad tech. Was it done at a Women's Center? Those places

are especially good at making you feel comfortable both mentally and

physically. Tracie

A big thank you to everyone who advised me to get a mammogram done.Although I am

afraid it will hurt, a lot seeing as there is not much there to pinch lol,

because I trust you ladies implicitly, I am phoning the Womans Center Monday and

making an appointment.

Big Hugs to all you terrific ladies.
