Hello all
I had my appointment yesterday, so many mammograms, scans and biopsies that today I feel like I’ve been in a boxing ring.
I don’t mind telling you all that I’m bloomin sore! It was not what I was expecting at all - can anyone relate? I feel like a bit of a whinger here but right now it just hurts ? I know it’s for the best and that we are expecting discomfort but that machine! I nearly passed out when it squashed my lump I felt like such a baby

@confused22 - no, you are not a baby or a whiner at all. I know exactly what you mean. One year for my annual mammogram I had someone fairly new doing it and she had to do it 3 times because she didn’t get good pictures - I was nearly climbing the walls! And I hate biopsies, they hurt me too. I know it’s a bit late to say now, but I was told to make sure I take paracetamol before mammograms/biopsies to ease the pain a bit.
I suppose my only other bit of advice is to now give yourself lots of kindness and treats. You have as you say been in a boxing ring and you need to let your body and mind recover. So whatever makes you feel good, do it. And offload on here any time. Sending hugs, Evie xx
Oh the mammogram machine can create a very unique sense of pain
A while ago now but I still remember the mammograms after the biopsy and marker coil(s - the first one unwound so I got another!). My poor boob
Whinge away and take all the sympathy.
