A mammogram presses breast tissue ad flat as possible between two plates, then they take an x-ray. A sonogram can be performed with a wand and some gel, it uses sound waves and a computer creates the image based off how the waves bounce back off tissues. It's more accurate when regarding density, so you can avoid unnecessary exploratory surgery. A mammogram just shows shadows, a sonogram can look at each level of tissue so a fluid filled cyst (which are common and related to hormonal cycles) is easy to differentiate from an abnormal growth.

Oh yikes, yeah I could see why people don't like mammograms then!

You put your boob on the black tray/surface and that top plastic clear piece lowers down and presses up against it.
This is the exact machine that was used on me. Zero pain.

When I call to schedule mine, I say, "I'm calling to schedule my boobie squishing." The person on the other end always knows what I mean, and always chuckles.

But the thought hurts.

Okay, got my wall sits done. Did 5, all between 20 and 45 seconds. Why did I think I liked them?!

I'm thinking about what extra I'm fixing to get done.

Ive had the whole SH’bang done. not pleasant. the mammo is what it is…the ultrasound is pretty cool. it is amazing what they see in there. my mom is a breast cancer survivor and in 2018 i discovered i had a mass and was invited to the high risk clinic and went through all kinds of happy stuff like MRIs and biopsies. Thank the lord it was not concerning for now but I would at least get your baseline to be sure there is nothing lurking. Mom waited 3 years between and got nailed. she beat it. that woman is going to live forever….breast cancer, heart attack, broke her shoulder and spent 4 months in rehab….she is battle tested.

not a big deal but it would be like the boys having their family jewels pressed between a dictionary and an encyclopedia…..now that is a picture!!!

It took a long time for my mom to figure out what she could and couldn't eat and how often she needed to eat.
She is one of those that truly does get sick if she does not eat on a regular basis.
And she's a skinny diabetic, has more trouble keeping weight on then keeping it off.
One of the biggest things for her but it's learning she had to balance her carbohydrates with protein. She was never a big meat, egg, cheese or nut eater.
So that was hard for her.

Diabetes runs in my family. My sister and I both deal with diabetes. Sister struggles to keep her weight above 110 and I struggled to keep mine below 150.
Her doctor sent her to a dietician and diabetes classes. Worked with her with different medications until they got the right fit.
My doctor met with me one time…introduced himself to me and introduced me to the PRN who met with me every three months. She looked over my meal charts, checked my A1c and reminded me to “watch what you eat”. She was not open to discussing diet, new strategies, etc. Only changes to meds were increasing the insulin.

I chose to talk with my GP about my frustrations. He made some med changes and he will treat my diabetes from now on. I’ve met with a dietician, have discussed numerous topics and research. I’ve lost 15 pounds and am much more healthy. I am retaking control of the blood sugars and A1c is going down!

Also...
Being nice does not make a good doctor. I would rather see Dr. House and have my feelings hurt to know that I'm getting the best assessment possible in a straightforward and honest way..
Than to have a dr. pat me on the head and send me on my way not having a clear understanding of what I should really be doing.

Many doctors medicate diabetes as a disease instead of educating to control diabetes as a condition. It is a huge money maker for pharmaceutical companies.
For example: My Tresiba insulin for 3 months costs $1,798.99 (90 days at 50 units a day Or $20 a shot)...weekly = $140.
I’m now down to 22 units of insulin a day so that same prescription covers 204 days at $8.80 per injection. But my second medicine Bydureon BCise runs $2,674.99 for 12 weekly shots at $222.92 per week. Total per week now is $284.52.

Pre-diabetics can be brought under control with diet changes and exercise.
Early diabetes can be better controlled with diet changes and exercise.
The body can correct the insulin production with proper diet and exercise.

It is much better to start in those early stages to get your diabetes (blood sugar) under control…be aggressive...demand information…learn to eat healthy and stay active.

I‘ll step off my soapbox now.
