My first mammogram

This is a story of what can only laughingly be called a journey I promise is going to seem very silly, very ridiculous in three weeks. I was once told, “Don’t be upset until three weeks from now. I promise you, in three weeks, it won’t be nearly as big of a deal as you first thought it was.” That advice has been memorable to me because it has been true.
