I couldn't agree more. The mammogram is an important tool and needs to be utilized. Honestly, I never found a mammogram painful at all. A bit squishy but "pain" is not a word I'd ever use to describe it. It's "tight" and no, you wouldn't want to stand their like that for a long time but 1, 2, 3 it's over with.

Go get it done. You'll be happy you did.
