Three years since my surgery for breast cancer and my third post-surgery mammogram... and it doesn't get any better - it still bloody well hurts! At least this time the radiographer was nice, in that whilst she was mangling my (already mangled) boob in the 'vice' she did it slowly - the clamp was lowered slowly rather than 'biting' like a Rottweiler! As my cancer was originally found by a routine mammogram I know the value of regular screening so I know I shouldn't complain - I know I should be grateful, but I DO wish they found a less painful method of screening.
