It's that time of year again.
Time for my annual mammogram, and I am once again grateful for the circumstance that makes me not only a citizen of a country that has the luxury of modern medicine and diagnostics, but that I have excellent health insurance with an HMO that believes in preventative care.
With a smile on my face and a song in my heart - Mammogram, ho!

uh, yeah. I also tend to sing songs when I go for my prostate exams as well.
Steve, I sing and smile because the mammogram beats the alternative - late diagnosed stage 4 breast cancer.
It's my way of being grateful for those things I tend to take for granted.
Now bend over and cough.
YAY for our girls having their pics taken! I am due for mine soon. Thanks for the reminder!
I'm overdue, but it won't happen until well after the surgery.
I had mine (all clear) a couple of months ago. My mammography center gives a carnation to women when they finish and leave - very sweet gesture.
I'm going to find some way to be offended here, because I'm sure there's something sexist and anti-boys about your post.
:)
(I'll get back to you when I think of it.)
Nathan, I have confidence that you'll think of something to be offended about.
Now bend over and cough...
Mammogram?
Oh whew, when I saw the title I thought, "Crap! Is it time for the Combined Federal Campaign again?"
Hope the boob squeezin' went OK.
Well, actually, it's "Bend over ::snap!::" or "turn your head and cough" (although that's technically a different test).
And yes, from someone whose Mom has had a radical mastectomy, catch it early.
And guys? While we're on the subject, go get your prostates checked.
My had aggressive early onset prostate cancer in his 50s. Only a chance PSA caught it.
What Michelle said.
"Bend over ::snap::"
go get your prostates checked.
What? Now?
I'm eating dinner, this might be awkward...
Yes, now.
Healthy habits shouldn't wait! I'm sure Mrs. SKS will understand.
