Re: Really anxious about mammogram

That is how I feel going just for my cleaning at my dentists office now. I never use to feel any anxiety... but now 60 and with aging issues with my teeth.. every time I go just for a cleaning of my teeth...  I hear bad news about my teeth. I  feel the same way with most medical tests now including mammograms. It  just seems like the older you get, no matter how good of care you take of yourself, and you do everything they ask you to do to insure good health, that SOMETHING  is always just off a bit... or major wrong.  

 

I think it is a mind set to just move forward and face whatever comes your way with no regret. To be strong and positive and know that it will all be fine. That is the mind set that is needed as you get past 60.  Not easy, but is is  possible.


I could have said these same words!  You are so right.
