Don't Neglect Mammograms out of Fear

I waited longer than I should have to start getting regular mammograms. I know they are important, but I have fear of new procedures, and I let this fear hold me back from starting this important health screening. I didn't get my first one until I was 55, and it was only after I had a small lump on my underarm that had me fearing the worst. I finally had my first mammogram. It was quick and easy, and my doctor made me feel very comfortable. I was told my small lump was just a small bit of scar tissue, thankfully, but it was a blessing in disguise that it gave me a scare. I now have regular mammograms now that the "fear of the unknown" is gone. I created this blog to encourage other women to not be afraid of mammograms! They are faster and easier than you think!
