I've been too scared to get it done after noticing some changes that look like images I've seen of cancerous changes. It's been a month, and I finally made the appointment. Scared to death but I keep telling myself, if it's nothing, I want to know, and if it's cancer, I want to know.

But a big part of me wants to just not know.

Glad you made the appointment. A big step in the right direction!

I either go to the doctor for every little thing or put off going forever. Sigh. Appointment's tomorrow morning, I'm nervous but whatever happens I'll be able to get the necessary testing done soon (I just turned 40 and need the mammogram regardless) and know what's up.

Same. I still haven't made the mammogram appointment lol. But the doc said he saw nothing alarming. And I WILL be going this summer this is just not a good time for anything.

By pre mammogram do you mean a physical breast exam by the doctor?
I’m wanting to do this.. and I usually don’t hesitate seeing the doctor.. but for some reason with this I am. I’m 41.
