They drove me crazy with the mammogram.

They said there’s focal asymmetry in one and I had to go back and do another diagnostic X-ray . Turns out I have nothing and they wasted 2 hours of my time. I had to wait an hour to get checked. The stress is just terrible to deal with and I had a bad week. I got lost and couldn’t find the right building. That was the first time I went to that location and they didn’t even have a sign up for radiology. 😞

Time spent on your health isn't wasted time.

They did that to me twice. @SooperSarah

@SW-User but if they missed something that's precious time lost before your next scan.
I have a pet scan coming up to make sure my cancer is still gone. Despite the dietary and activity restrictions I don't care how many they have to do to get a clear answer.

I’m sorry you went through that. I wish you good health . I hope they invent more evasive and successful treatment for cancer. I just hate being scared for no reason. I had a stressful week . @SooperSarah

@SW-User the stress is the worst. Unfortunately it's enough to discourage people from the screenings. 😞 I know it sucks, but it's worth doing. And anything worth doing is worth doing right. 💜

I know this woman in her late 60s that refuses to get a mammogram which I think is crazy. Some people just are too scared. @SooperSarah

@SW-User I used to think not knowing was better. I'm pretty much the opposite now after seeing how important catching things early really is.
