Have you postponed scheduling your first mammogram because you're anxious about what to expect?

Here's what a mammogram is like. Everyone's is different, but I have had them for 10 years in a variety of locations, so my experiences are probably pretty common.

When you go to your regular doctor, they'll give you a prescription or a lab order for a mammogram that you can take to any of various mammography sites around where you live. Usually, they are located near or in hospitals. You call and make an appointment at the mammography center.

I am always excited to participate and to lead a team here in Portland, Oregon for the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. (Team Haralee) Last year the race event had 48,000 participants. It is amazing to see a sea of white T-shirts dotted with pink T-shirts walking through the streets of downtown Portland.
