Well today marks a historic event. For me anyway. For those of you who don't know it, I work for a Radiologist, and our primary business is mammography. We recently purchased a new General Electric Digital Mammography Machine. It's really pretty damn cool. I turned 35 last year, and I've been getting bugged to get my baseline done. (Mostly by Regina I might add!) Well, I finally did it today, and it wasn't anywhere near as uncomfortable as I had expected it to be, nor was it stressful. We have some wonderful techs in our office, and Sheila made me very comfortable throughout the whole thing. I was very nervous about getting it done, mostly because I see so many women diagnosed with cancer, and having seen my wonderful step-mother-in-law battle the disease only to lose in the end, really made me not want to know if there was in fact something wrong. It's not a very smart place to be coming from I have to admit now. Mammography partnered with self breast exams really is the key to early detection, and digital mammography is pretty awesome. We had a case where the digital detection feature questionned an area that was only 2 millimeters in size! That could never have been seen by the human eye! It's absolutely amazing that this woman was able to get a biopsy and take the necessary steps to ensure her continued health and happiness. If we don't do it for ourselves, lets do it for our families!
