I just had a mammogram at a new facility close to my office and it was absolutely pain free. There was no squishing of the breasts, no holding still, no holding my breath, no skin irritation, or any pain whatsoever. The technician was very happy with the quality of the pictures. I saw them too and they looked good. Of course they have to be read and compared to my last mammogram. I just want to let you all know that mammograms do not have to be a painful experience. Had I not went somewhere else, I would have kept assuming that the pain was a part of the process and necessary to get clear pictures. So if you are not happy with your mammogram experience, speak up or try somewhere else.

Have a great day everyone. This experience sure made my day.
