The more I find out the less anxious I am. The other thing I worry about is the fact that I'm fairly small in that area and concerned that it will be uncomfortable because I don't have much to put in the machine. Ya know? A friend of mine said when she had her mammogram (she is fairly small, too) the tech kept pulling and tugging from around her back and under her arm and finally my friend told her "You can tug and pull everything up from my ankles and you still won't have enough to put in your machine!" HA! Ha!

I really appreciate it. Just like you said, this is going to be a breeze compared to what other things I've had to go through.

I just seen on the tv that they have found that a small amount of dye(possibly radio active but not enough to be a problem) can be injected into your veins and it will adhere to cancerous cells thus showing up better on a scan because dense breast tissue is hard to see through.This should help with less biopsies and invasive procedures in the future.Sounds interesting and I wish I could find out more info.It won't be much longer before I have to go and they'll have more than enough tissue to put in the machine.Yikes!! Good luck!!! -------------------- IBS-D since 1999...mostly stable..i do cheat too.Bad me.

I saw that news story, too, about the new procedure to detect breast cancer. Sounds interesting and much more reliable. I'm small in that area and actually...one side is a little smaller than the other!

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Thankfully it's not noticable. I just notice it when I'm in the shower. I don't even think my husband notices.
