Annual mammogram

(The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends annual mammograms for be-boobed people aged 40+*. Please get yours if you're eligible. Mammograms save lives.)

@aleen As a be-boobed person (I love your turn of phrase), I absolutely approve of this message.

@nwreg @aleen Wondering what “be-booped” means. I postponed mine from yesterday to later this month, as I wasn’t feeling great yesterday. It’ll be my first (here you get an invitation every two years, between the age of 50 and 70 or 75 - not sure about the end age). Not looking forward to it.

@whakkee @aleen Sorry Marga and Aleen for my misspelling of that creative be-boobed. And Marga, good on you to get it scheduled. Your experience will be your own (maybe very different from in the US) but I bribe myself with a coffee and pastry stop afterwards knowing I did something for my health. Still hate waiting for results but…

Marga :prami_pride_pan:

@nwreg @aleen oh! I don’t know what be-boobed means either, I hadn’t even noticed the difference in spelling!
I hate that the less painful options that are there nowadays, are just not made available. I’ll find some way to be kind to myself that day, and hope that maybe next time, or the time after, they can use friendlier techniques.

@whakkee @nwreg @aleen I read it like “bespectacled”, meaning one with, or having, spectacles (eyeglasses).
