Okay now, stop snickering over what it says over the top of the memo pad ... !
It's the first of the year, and now's time now that I take care of annual annoyances like those on my list here...ewww! Who even wants to THINK about that?!?
Tisn't fun,
but must be done.
You see, I have a family history of breast cancer and have been having yearly squeeze-the -mamms since I was in my early thirties, after having a lump show up and having a biopsy done. It was all benign, thankfully, but when your family history is like mine, you DON'T miss these appointments.
*My maternal grandmother died of breast cancer in the 1940's when she was in her forties.
*I've had aunts on my mother's side with breast cancer.
*I have girl cousins on my mother's side that have had it also and they were reasonably young when it happened.
So the day the nice technician smiles, tell me to hold my breath and not. to. move. and then squeezes my mammary glands into the exact size and shape of platter-sized pancakes?
I endure it.
Tit's just SMART.
(Oops, did I just say that?! I never can resist a pun.)
