I always refuse! I figure, maybe I'll do it in a few years, but not now.

I don't blame you. I refused for awhile and last night I just gave it. I did it to hopefully avoid some unneccessary mammograms and/or ultrasounds... I am still a little sore today.... Felt like a piece of cattle while hooked up to that machine...LOLOL

It is pretty new...Maybe a few years old. Insurance doesn't cover it, but it didn't cost THAT much

I thought there was going to be blood in the cups, but nope.... Blood blisters everywhere? Yes.

Well the test can detect any abnormal cells BEFORE a lump or mass even forms. As for the pain, it is definitely tolerable just very uncomfortable and the test is only 5 minutes. Feel like you are breatfeeding about 4 or so 20 year olds with teeth....
