                          | Public Service Announcement: 
 Mammograms *do* *not* *hurt* - not one IOTA. It was not a question of pain tolerance - it was a question of the thing resulting in zero pain. I had always heard that they smoosh your boobs to the point taht you think you can't take it any more, and then they smoosh harder.
 
 No.  Uh uh.  I would call it a "press" - not a smoosh or a squish.  A pressing.
 
 They do, however, put your breasts into rather unflattering poses.
 
 
 
 If any one has been avoiding a mammogram b/c they heard it hurts - don't avoid it anymore.  It does NOT hurt.
