Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Ladies! Since this topic came up this morning...thought I share my recent mammo experience. Last year when I went the radiologist had one heck of a time with me. She kept having to retake pix of my right boob. After the 6th time I told her if I were the type to panic I'd be going a little crazy by now. She rolls her eyes and says, " wrinkles! I can't get the wrinkles out! " Now I knew I had a lot of skin, and that I went from a 60DD to a 34 long, and that <squish, squish> the mammogram didn't hurt anymore....but WRINKLES?! So this year I told my tech about last years experience. She explained to me that contrary to popular belief, I did indeed have breast tissue left. Not much...it was very fibrous and very dense but it was there, and that a wrinkle could hide a lump or mass in this tissue. Now that made sense to me!! She worked hard with me...darn near stood on her head trying to pull skin here and there, but....no retakes!! She got good films the first time around and I am a-ok!! Now to get my pap done....<sigh> ::::singing:::::I enjoy, being a girl!

I feel like I could just sit on the chair and the tech could just stretch them over to the machine. The other day I wrote about the size of my midrift and wouldn't you know it, today I received a copy of Obesityhelp Magazine, and there was a Plastic Surgery article. The before pic is how I am shaped, smaller, but essentially the same. No wonder, I wear a 16. By the way there is a pic of my hubby and me in the issue.
