Save the TA-TAS !!!!!!!

Hopefully, we are all aware of how much we need to do, research on, WHY breast cancer is so rampant.

I would like for some of the money to be spent on making mammograms available, for free, for all women. Also, I would like a little research money to be spent on making it a more pleasant experience.

Yesterday I had my annual torpedo's checked, not an easy feat for the x-ray technician, I'm sure. Living with Double D's since twelve, has always been a curse. A Dolly Parton curse without her money!!!! Going to have a mammogram is a whole other beast.
First they direct me to undress and suggest I wear the Red Enormous Tits gown. So when I go to the waiting room, and 500 women in blue gowns are sitting, I would feel OH so comfortable!!!
Second they leave me in the waiting room for an hour or two with magazines from the late 70's. It was like waiting for the second coming of Christ, with no reading material.
Third, they call my name, and press my boobs between glass plates until they resemble the continent of Asia!!! Zap, Zap and Zap through the tissue. Left, Right, upside down and backwards!!!! Back to the waiting room.
Fourth, "Mrs. Baron, we need to take a few more pictures." Now what do you think every woman is thinking?? of course, CANCER !!!! and sure more photos of my "Girls", let me put down this riveting article from 1968!!!!
Fifth, the ultrasound, warm K-Y jelly all over, that's a plus!!! and a warm blanket, another plus. Back to the waiting room.
I have been on the receiving end of good news, even with a few biopsies . There are so many women sitting in the waiting room whose faces tell another story. This is crazy stuff, women suffering way too much, from the exam to the horrible disease. I know progress has been made, but tell that to the women sitting across from me. My "numies" ( that's what we called them in our house!!) are hanging fine, but my heart hurts. Save the Ta-Tas, support breast cancer research.
