- Hey guys! Since I turned 40 a few weeks ago, it is officially time to start getting annual mammograms. In today's day-in-the-life I'm sharing how my first mammogram went, what to expect and if it hurt. As a busy mom I know how easy it can be to neglect your own healthcare but you shouldn't! Breast cancer screenings are very important and something you should make time for!
God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. (Ps. 46:5)

Mine hurt (big chested), I was so nervous and tense. The tech was helpful and made me laugh while adjusting the machine and the girls. I was 35 when I had my first one, it came out fine and go back at 40. The longest part was waiting for my turn, but it went by fast. Praying your results are good.
This was a great video for you to do Becky! 💯❤I agree that the side view is definitely more uncomfortable. This is such an important test and so many women avoid it because of fear, thanks so much!🙌🎉
No problem! I hope it encourages others to have them done!
Thank you for this video!! It really helps to know what to expect.
Very helpful. I need to schedule mine. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you for making this video. I turn 40 next January, but have breast cancer in my family, so my doctor gave me a script this morning when I went for my annual and I was so nervous. I’m not as nervous now!
Thank you for making this video. I have had a few mammograms and agree with your description of the process and level of discomfort.
Glad you made this video! I’m turning 36 in a few weeks so I have a few more years but this was really informative and made it seem less scary. It’s always something I’ve dreaded but I won’t dread it so much now.
I go today with my BFF to get our mammograms. They can be very stressful and I have experienced anxiety over getting them not because of the test but what the test could show! I had issues when I was 42 and had a lump removed but have had no other issues since and am feeling less stressed about going...especially bringing my best friend along! Glad you did a video like this because many women are scared to have one but you presented it in a way that is not scary! Have a great week and I hope you get or already got the all clear!
I love the idea of going with a friend and I hope you both have healthy and normal results! As for mine, I haven't heard back so I'm assuming no news is good news. :)
@@aplacetonest Thank you!! No news is good news!
Thank you! I've been putting this thing off for 2 years.
I'm 52, had total thyroidectomy due to cancer. Never a mammogram, it's been 20 years since my last pap, and thanks to the jerk who performed this, I will never have another! Bless u for helping others.
I've never been hurt when having a mammogram. Due to the pandemic, I cancelled my mammogram that was due in March. Your video has reminded me that I definitely need to call today and reschedule. Have a great week !
I'm happy to have reminded you and I hope you can get it scheduled soon! I hope you have a great week, too!
My mum was she got her boob sliced open
@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 ouch
@@k.v.6885 yep
@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 inexperienced technician maybe?
Thank you for sharing and reminding everyone to do it. It IS very important to have it done. ❤
Absolutely!!
No it’s not! Look into how toxic they are
Thank you for making this video! I just turned 40 and wasn't looking forward to getting mine but feel more at ease from watching this.
You dont have to get it its not mandatory its like smear tests its personal choice im nearly 30 never had a smear and never will same with this
Glad for this video. I get my first one in the morning. Been so nervous
You’ll do just fine!
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing! I had my first mammogram last year when I was 41. I heard the same things you did & I didn't think it was too bad. Not the most comfortable thing to have done :-), but very important. The whole process took relatively quick.
I'm glad you agree that it's not that terrible! :)
Does it hurt in mammogram???
Thanks for the reminder. I turn 40 in July.
I’m 59 today so I’ve had many mammograms...years ago the machines were a little different and each technician is different as well...years ago the way the tech positioned you it could pinch and some flattened the breast more than others so at times it was more uncomfortable. Overall nothing horrible but I’m glad things have improved over the years. I have a lot of anxiety so actually the waiting for them to tell you if everything was okay is the worst part for me. Thank God I don’t have breast cancer in my family and I’ve had good results every year...so that helps me to stay calm. I’m glad everything went well for you 💕 Janel in NJ
TFS. I’m about to turn 41 and I did not know I should be getting these now!
Thanks for sharing! I just recently turned 40 as well and will have mine later this year!! :-)
I'm glad you're making sure to take care of yourself!
Thanks for this
My pleasure!
I know I need to get one. I've had a concerning "lump" in one of my tatas. But I'm scared. My tatas are 90% implants. So I'm a little scared they won't know what to do with mine and I'm worried about what the lump will be. I'm also worried they won't do it because I'm only 32.
I'm 44, so I've been doing this for several years- plus I have super dense tissue, which translates to you go every 3 months until they feel they have a good "reference point" in my case I think it was three or four times.
My first time I was so nervous. I had heard all the horror stories. I actually had a hard time sleeping the night before. When I got there, I was blown away by how bad it wasn't. Oh, it's uncomfortable. The side profile one is not fun. But it is over with so quickly. I told the technician and she said she hears it a lot. She also told me in days gone by it was a lot worse. Nowadays they're able to do different things which improves the testing.
The worst test I've been through is the Fiber optic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) where they put the scope through your nose and you have to swallow something like 500 times. It's not painful, because they numb you, but it's awkward and I have a deviated septum so they tried to get it in through one nostril and couldn't, so they went the other one.
It's all the the person who is having the test. Like a colonoscopy. It's unpleasant to even think about that. The test is NOTHING. Easy peasy. It's the prep that is horrible. I've had 3. My father passed away from colon cancer, so it's not something I take lightly.
Sometimes the things we need to discuss are the things that we ignore because they can be awkward. Allowing the awkwardness of the situation to rule us though can be detrimental.
Goodness, that FEES test sounds awful! I hope you don't have to do that again, or often!
Me, too!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm 32 and this is my first mammo to confirm fibrocystic tissue and I've been a little nervous as what to expect. I've always heard how much it hurts, so I'm glad to know it's probably not as bad as it seems! I'm hoping it's less painful than dealing with these dang cysts! Lol
How did it go? Was it painful?
Hey babes! I have my appt tomorrow morning, I'll report back! Fingers crossed its not as bad as we hear it is! 🤞🤞
@@TheJazzySmiles hi! So it was totally fine! I had a wonderful technician who explained everything to me in detail and explained the process and everything. I have a lot of breast tissue (D cup) and It was uncomfortable but not unbearable and it only lasted a few seconds for each image (I only had one breast done and it was 2 images). The top down squish wasn't painful or anything but the side squish was a little painful because of the way they position the breast and its squishing against the muscle as well. She said if you have fibrocystic breasts (like i do) it can sometimes be a little bit more uncomfortable because your breasts can be more sensitive. But it wasn't unbearable and it was over basically as soon as it started. My tech was quick and efficient so I was in and out within like 3 minutes at most. For me I kept telling myself that a few moments of uncomfortability is worth peace of mind for results. It wasn't nearly as bad as I was thinking it would be! I hope your appt goes well!! 🖤
@@Chynawhite31 hi! I just had my apt today, see above comment 🖤 good luck with your appt I hope it goes well!
@@aristardust1620 thank you🖤 glad your appt went well
Just had my first mammogram today. I've just turned 40. My Mother died of stage 4 breast cancer back in 2002. She was diagnosed with stage 4 at the age of 49. Ever since my Mom died I was told I would have to get breast exams and mammograms at an early age. The doctor recommended when I turn 40. Anyway the mammogram was an interesting experience. I had some added obstacles that the technicians had to get around. First of all I have a chest deformity called pectus escavatum. It's when the there is to much cartilage in the ribs and so the ribs grow inwards pushing the sternum back giving the the chest this deep indentation. I also have an implant defibrillator device underneath my left collar bone and sits just above my left breast due to a heart arrhythmia I have. The third thing is I have tiny breasts. It took 2 technicians and a lot of moving and twisting my body around and positioning my tiny breast just right on the bord but some how we were able to get it done and get some images. Now as far as the machine is concerned and what it felt like? Well, they put your breast on a black x-ray board and then cranck this clear plastic board down on top of your breast that smooshes your beast down. It feels like your breast is claimped down tightly between these two things. You just have to relax and stand still. When they turn the machine on to take the picture they tell you stand still and hold your breath. The machine makes these little beeping sounds. It goes beep...beep... beep beepbeepbeep and during that time it takes the x-ray picture. Right after that the technician tells you that you can breath now and the machine releases your breat. They have to do a top and bottom image of your breast and side image of breast. For the side image they just rotate the machine and instead of black x-ray board being under your breast it's on one side of your breast and is claimped down again between the 2 boards. As women have said it feels uncomfortable but not painful and its really quick. Like your boob isn't smooshed for too long.
I've had many mammograms due to my Mom having breast cancer. I also have cysts, so I experience some pain and tenderness, and swelling after. But because my Mom had a mastectomy I will go every year.
I have many cysts and my breasts are really sore 😢would it make it more painful? I have a mammogram scheduled next week and scared to death.
I'm not going to have a mammogram. It has to be another way then pressing your breast between two glass plates. It has to be a better way, my anxiety is pretty high, right now. When they find a better way of doing this procedure I will do it
Btw I was watching a video of you 4 yrs ago..you look more beautiful today than 4 yrs ago!
I’m 36 and I am anxious knowing I am exposing myself to X ray when doing mammogram even if it’s a very small dose. My doc said I can do it if I want to even not being 40 yet.
I know...it definitely sounds counterintuitive, doesn't it?
I’m 30 and my mom just passed away a few days ago from breast cancer. So I’m going on Wednesday to get mines done
I'm so sorry about your mother, but I'm happy to hear you're taking your health seriously!
Listening to your video I’m 39i haven’t done a mammagram my 2gfs have. My 1friend has breast cancer :( I didn’t know you had to do it at 40 so scary cuz it’s painful. My 2nd friend did it and she said it was extremely painful she said she had to get them to pass cuz she felt like vomiting and fainting.
I think it's different for everybody but in my opinion, it isn't that bad and it only lasts for a few seconds.
@aplacetonest ok thank you for the msg. I will have to eventually do it im 39
Did you get a protector for your thyroid?
I don't remember but I'm sure they did. They covered me up with so many things! lol
I’m going for first one in April i d rather have this than a smear for sure!
I really appreciate this!! I am 44 and have been so scared to get one. Thanks! ❤
Don't be! It's not that bad. :)
I was 45 when I got my first mammogram. I waited because I was freaked out about stories I would hear from other woman. It went very well, not bad at all. I felt mislead by others and frustrated. I wish I did it sooner and wish I heard from people like me. Made me wonder how many other woman are putting this off because of others “horror” stories.
I'm having my 3rd one in a row this Thursday..not painful at all. Because my sister had breast cancer I always get a diagnostic mammogram which includes the ultrasound.
Is it better to do ultrasound than mammogram?
Never get a mammogram.
Do do that!!!! So much research showing how toxic that radiation is and how small of a percentage that can actually find anything. Do sonograms instead.
Yes! Or thermography. It’s such a crazy thing that we’re trying to find tumor growth with a tool that causes it!
Why are you having this done you are much too young there is no way you are over 55
You’re supposed to start getting them when you’re 40 so it was time for me to get one done. 😊
@@aplacetonest no you dont get them until you are 50 + www.nhs.uk/conditions/breast-cancer-screening/when-its-offered/ see
My doctor, as well as other professionals, say it’s a good idea to get them starting at 40. I’m sure, like with anything, there are differing opinions but I am going by what I’ve been told and recommend to do by my doctor.
@@aplacetonest well tbf im English so that be why its different
That could be.
