Got the results from my first mammogram since my lumpectomy, and I am clean!
Couldn't resist adding this:

Any and all suggestions that don't require mass quantities of cash appreciated.
Or should I stay here and fight? (Keep in mind that I'm old and tired....! ;-> )

Is this a test you have to do every year or how does it work??

(6,592 posts)Like the biopsy just whooshed it all out and the surgery (my first ever) was an afterthought.
I am really quite gobsmacked and grateful re the whole thing.
ETA that I have a mammogram every year.

(4,176 posts)have access to healthcare, mammograms, etc.
It is my understanding Planned Parenthood arranges for funding for women to get mammograms when they are not able to afford it as the actual procedure is done off premises from PP.
This may be less of an issue now with ACA, not sure.
Even with all the progress in breast cancer cure/research, whatever it is called, I can imagine we would be even further along if men were affected at anywhere near the rate women are.
(As to the Texas reference, I saw you mention it in another post here, so assume that is correct that you live there)
Again, congratulations!

(6,592 posts)You're right, I'm very fortunate to have the access to health care that I do.
It's criminal what the Republicans are doing to PP, and women in general.
