1st Mammogram after treatment
Can anyone tell me your experience with your first mammogram after treatment? My breast is still so sore I guess from the radiation plus surgery etc. I can’t imagine how they are going to be able to do this. I have my first mammogram in 11 days and worried it is going to hurt too much to get a good image. Finished radiation 5 months ago. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Also should I still be this sore?

Hi Carrie4F,
I am on a similar timeline as you, finished radiation 6 months ago, having the first mammogram in 2 days. I will tell you how it goes. I do not have a lot of pain as such, just twinge here and there , mostly aches under the armpit.
After going through the radiation, and having them not tell me ahead when there would be changes, I now will ask a lot of questions when I go to any medical procedure. Tell the mammogram technician about any pain, and have them tell you every step of the way what they are doing to you, and tell them as well, how you are feeling every step of the way.
Have a good weekend. olivesew
