Okay . . . between reading the posts here about how we gals who don't take care of ourselves like we should and October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month - - I finally broke down and made an appointment for my annual mammogram (we won't talk about when the actual annual date was) but at least I'm going.  So tomorrow afternoon - I have a date with "two cold bricks" and I'll smile ??  Keep me in your thoughts & prayers . .  .  I always figure it'll be okay but until you hear those actual words . . . the mind does like to go off in strange places . .   mc :)

I know what you mean! I have never had a cancer scare where my breasts are concerned but, I still feel so much better when that letter comes in the mail saying I am A-OK....

Usually I have to go for a follow up (ultrasound) as my right boob shows a shadow and they like to make sure that it's nothing.
