Sandra, I'm so glad your ordeal is over. Poor thing!

Silver- I've had one mammogram and because I am pretty small chested (and was smaller still then) I remember it being awful too, as they had to pull whatever you had way out and than clamp it under the plates like a vise to get an image. Nasty!! And painful.
Soon they will use a different system for getting images instead , which are not painful at all, and way more accurate. But not until they get the fgunding to replace the old mammogram machines with the newer technology.
