I was so nervouse about getting a mammogram and I have to say it was no big at all for me. A bit wierd. And I did feel like they were being handled a bit roughly but it was really not painful at all. Like I said just odd. I guess if you have sensative breasts then I could see why it would painful. I am glad I did it! and they gave me a rose. I got a cup of starbucks tea for free today too for voting!

Same here. I hate it, and it hurts.

I get mine in about 3 weeks. I consider this one of life's "necessary evils". It only hurts for a little while and you get chocolate afterwards at our clinic :-)

I've been getting them since I was 34 -- sometimes they hurt, sometimes they don't. I think it depends on the technician.
I'm due for one, but I'll wait until the neck collar comes off.

Kudos to you Brandi!
Haven't had one but when I need one I will schedule it promptly. I will also have my first colonoscopy the week I turn 40. What is worse breast cancer or the mammogram? Colon cancer or the colonoscopy? Having seen two of the dearest men in my life fight colon cancer I will take the scope anytime. I guess I will never understand why people play Russian Roulette with their health over temporary pain or discomfort?
