....I am required to go get my first Mammogram. Don’t get me wrong, I am aware of the importance and necessity. I will go down to that office with confidence and knowledge that I am doing the right thing. But I am pretty nervous. Not that anything will be found, not to have strange women hold my breasts in their hands. Nope.

I am scared of that huge machine that presses them into pancake form. I am nervous that it won’t stop like some creepy vice on a cartoon and squish it until it becomes more flat that it already is (vertically, not horizontally, btw). Many, many women have done it and in March, I will be one more. Goodie.
