Says embarrassment shouldn't deter women from having routine mammograms because the staff are all experienced in their fields.

 



I would just say absolutely go. I would say it does not hurt. It really doesn't. It's slightly uncomfortable and when you think of the value of it, it's worth every bit of it. And it's not embarrassing at all. You know. I think that's what people's other thought, you know, will I be embarrassed or. Well it isn't embarrassing at all, you know, it's their job and they do it really, really well and have been really good.
