I dread this moment

So since I have turned 50yrs 2 months ago, this year is the year of serious tests to be done.. and I dread them lol... mammogram and colonoscopy.

I heard a mammogram hurts a lot and I've had a colonoscopy years back... but since I had a cancer last year, I'm scared that they may find something when I do have them tests done. I know sooner the better, but still, I dread it lol

Just need for the letter telling me ,I need to contact them for it.

I just had my first mammogram this year at 41. They say the new age is 40 and over to get the test regardless of history. You will do fine!! It was a tad uncomfortable but not painful. And each breast only took a few mins! And they give a tiny break even in between that. I wish you luck...it will go smoothly🌸
