My first mammogram this week...

I ask for your prayers this week as I head off to get my first mammogram. The Dr. feels it's just lumpy breasts like sooo many woman have and nothing to worry about. But I'm a little nervous as breast cancer runs in the family. Would feel a little better if hubby could get home. Other family members and friends will be with me-yea! Does anyone know where I can get reasonable health insur online? Have a blessed day everyone.

Prayers coming your way for this nerve wracking moment. I know that I had my dr send me for a mammogram but turned out I just have very lump breasts also... I was told by him that caffeine does help make them lumpy as well as other things... so I am hoping that this is all it is with you!

Waiting to hear how it goes...

hugs, Lor

I'm a breast cancer survivor and have had many mammograms. I was diagnosed at 32. I will never forget when I went for my millionth mammogram and there next to me was a lady in her 70's who was having her first one done that day....Keep your chin up, just keep pushing yourself and ask lots of questions...never give up.
