Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Mammogram Central

Mammogram central
They are asking me questions
I have no answers
Where did I have my last mammogram?
I thought I had it here
The last one they can find was 12 years ago
I am unconcerned
My breast looks like it is healing
I feel good
Even though they squeezed my girls
Scrunched up into old men 
in a tiny plastic box
No way to treat my 44D’s

L Milton Hankins August 7, 2021 at 8:07 PM Heeeee! I remember how Deborah despised, and would avoid like the plague, getting a mammogram...and she was no 44D!!! So, so sorry, Caren. I know it was no fun! Caren Krutsinger August 8, 2021 at 7:16 AM It is no fun for sure!

Darlene De Beaulieu August 7, 2021 at 11:55 AM Hello Caren, right you are!!! i hate them. My girls hurt for at least 2 days. Hugs. Darlene De Beaulieu August 8, 2021 at 11:57 AM Hello Caren, I am happy for the good news. Hugs. Caren Krutsinger August 7, 2021 at 5:06 PM I was relieved to have this one this time though.

Jan Allison August 7, 2021 at 9:19 AM Thanks for the poem its a subject we must write and talk about as screening saves lives. I detest having it done but have had lumps and have to get them checked out as my maternal grandma died of breast cancer. The machines HAS to be invented by a man - if they did the same for gonads they would soon invent a different method! Hope you are ok:-) hugs Jan xx Caren Krutsinger August 7, 2021 at 10:43 AM I am great. I discovered yesterday that my breast cyst is benign.
