April 12, 2011 - First Mammogram

Having just turned 40, my OB writes me a referral to John Muir Health for my first ever mammogram.  I report to the hospital as scheduled.  The test wasn't the worst thing I've ever experienced, but certainly not pleasurable!  The tech says, "boy you've got a lot of calcifications in your right breast!"  Not knowing exactly what that meant, I took it as positive reinforcement for being a good milk drinker!  (Get it?  Calcifications...Hee hee.)
