On Thursday my boobies will get squashed (My armpits will be thoroughly washed) Can’t use deo or spray so I’ll whiff on that day Mammograms show cancer can be quashed Always makes me smile that my appointment letter comes from Bristol because in cockney rhyming slang ‘Bristols’ is slang for breasts. 9/19/18

Just had mine and this one was second worst. The first being the time I got pinched and bruised. This lady wanted to handle the boob that was loose. I’m like: I’ve got this one....lol

Hope the results are negative Kim, they are a necessary evil. When I had my lump at the end of last year I had 11 mammograms in a day, believe me I never want to go through that again:-( hugs jan xx

Yes. My wife speaks of these moments with displeasure. At least you bring a humorous perspective. Thanks. Jan are you in England? I can’t remember.

When your wife tells you how bad they are just imagine your bits trapped in a vice and you get the idea what its like lol, yes I'm in the Uk ( Isle of Man) which is a crown dependency:-) hugs jan xx

I am sure they would love to invent a machine so blokes know just how painful having ones bits squashed really is!:-) hugs Jan xx

I'm sort of glad they don't do similar to us men and our goolies, Jan, that would be eye watering. Hope all goes well. Viv x

If I were Plastic Man, I would happily volunteer to warm them up for you before the frigid slab. The validation code for my comment is "NUD", so it seems poetry soup.com got the message. Bonne chance! Aloha! Rico n.b. I notice you still haven't commented on my, "Jan's gift to the world" …...

Im sure the machine was invented by a man - they don't use such a device to check a man's 'bits' lol!:-( hugs jan xx

Ha ha, funny and no one likes to have them squashed but something we have to do!

Jan Allison

I hate having them and had my fair share at the end of last year when I had a lump - 11 in one day was no fun!! but thankfully yesterday was only 4 so it wasn't too bad:-) hugs jan xx

Loved your note about Bristol...didn't know that! I use themogram instead of the torturous mamogram. Where do you find such pictures? Hilarious! : )

Jan Allison
Date: 9/19/2018 7:08:00 PM

I wish we had the thermal imaging, I did ask about it and they said if they had it and they found anything they would still have to use the mammogram machine - sheer torture but it won't be for too long I hope:-) I used the pic on another poem and it makes me smile so i used it for this one too:-) hugs jan xx

Oh, yes, you have portrayed this in the nicest, most pleasant of ways. The words I was looking for was ICE COLD HARD platform.

The least they could do is they could warm it up a little Caren!:-) hugs jan xx
