Indeed they do ... although they use the word "compress" as opposed to squeeze flat. Compression is key to getting a good image ... which is key to early detection ... which is key to avoiding breast cancer.

They have some special pad you can use to cushion it and make it a bit more comfortable. Still no fun, but ya gotta do whacha gotta do!

A mammo really doesn't hurt. Enduring a bit of discomfort for a few seconds is well worth it!

Mine does. It's more than discomfort, it is pain. That qualifies as "hurt". It is well worth though!

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Sagittarius

Mercury turning retrograde in your house of finances carries a rather unseasonal message, because it's telling you to pay attention to your finances over the next few weeks. If you already know that you've overspent this month, you won't need to be told that a few economies are just around the corner. Get the facts straight and pay attention to the small print. You may also have to make some adjustments to an intimate relationship so it can move into another phase.
