It really is only a 20 second squish times 6 views. I'm a scaredy cat and I don't need to take ativan for mammos.
The techs are usually great. The center I go to now is almost spa-like. It really makes a difference as the center that didn't pick up my tumor was 3rd world like. (Long waits, indifferent staff, etc)And don't be afraid to complain if they're making you too uncomfortable, ie squishing your collarbone.
It really is OK. Obviously a woman didn't invent this machine. Advil is a good suggestion as I sometimes have a little soreness, but less soreness than you might feel from working out.
You can do it. I have heard of no cases of anyone expiring or having damage from a mammogram. I hope by the time you're 40, they have less squashing testing in place.
Good luck, Bev
