It feels like a kind of a milestone. My first post cancer mammogram.
No one knows, except my husband and he’s always been pragmatic.
Did anyone else feel it to be a kind of big deal.

It is a milestone . I have to say even 9 years on I still find them a big deal and they do cause a lot of unease that only people who’ve been through a cancer diagnosis can understand . The waiting for the results is very hard . Fingers crossed for a good result .

Thankfully I got my results back very quickly but it then hit me and I was very down for a few weeks even tho I knew I shouldn’t be
Hope yours goes smoothly

Hi Gillid,
Yes, it is a milestone, a huge one and waiting for the results is quite triggering for a lot of us. I’m just coming up for my third and still have a low level of anxiety but much lower than the first time.
Be kind to yourself, can someone go with you? . Sending love and best wishes xx

Yes, i dreaded it too. Luckily results were ok. I was also worried about pain & internal damage but my Oncologist reassured me it’ll be ok. I know they’re not supposed to, but the nurse let me see the images afterwards. She also suggested next time take paracetamol or similar to help with discomfort during mammogram…I wish you well gillid & hope you get on ok. x
