I'm off to get the boobies squashed this afternoon. I would urge all of you to get this done on a regular basis, even if you're still young (in your twenties, say). Yes, it's uncomfortable, but not nearly as much as treatment for cancer would be. And mammograms save lives...the new digital exams are much clearer than the old X-ray ones used to be. I got to look at mine last year, and even I could see the difference and I'm so not a trained X-ray technician! And keep an eye on your boyfriend/significant other...men can get breast cancer as well. And not just the guys with 'man-boobs'...they need to check from time to time and see their doctor if they think there might be something suspicious. Save the Ta-Ta's!
