Me too! It was the first year I was going to skip one, but had to have other x-rays so went ahead and had it. Those "calcium deposits" got me to a surgeon and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center very fast, and I'm here to brag after being "a pathologist's challenge" and 2 surgeries, 2 sets of different chemotherapies (hair and nail loss of course), 6 weeks of daily radiation therapy, and 5 years of taking an estrogen blocker. We're awaiting my 2nd grandchild!

Yeah for you! I am glad you are a survivor, such a blessing...I am a melanoma survivor.

I love that quilt. Can I find that quilt pattern in a book. My mother just found out that she has cancel. This quilt would make her smile.

Seven years here. My daughter is 3 years. Yeah. Two other daughters are clean and don't miss theirs. :thumbup: :thumbup: I used to avoid them for as long as possible. Now, I'm first in line. Will not put them off any longer. :-D

Ok, so my yearly deductible has just been met after going in for that other test they give you once you turn 50. Surely you know which one, ugh. With that, I will be scheduling my yearly mammogram. Been putting it off since the reminder card arrived in May. So not smart. I didnt want the bill$.

Congrats on your survival! As I was walking in my 4th Susan G. Komen 60 mile 3-Day event two years ago, I spoke to a woman who, at age 59 had never had a mammogram. When I asked why (as politely as possible), she said she was too scared to find out the results. We've kept in touch through e-mail and I was so glad when she told me that in honor of my walking again this past summer, she had a mammogram! I was so excited for her, especially when the results were all good. Congratulations to all you survivors and for those still battling, you are in my prayers.

Good looking out. I can't get my first one until 40 but I check often.
