I suppose there are some women who would jump off a cliff if she said it was ok.

I see ambitious has got her **** out again, but this time its to be 'inspiring' to women - in the form of having a mammogram. She doesn't stop does she. She must be the least inspiring woman - well, second to MeMe Markle, on the planet. What she'll do for a bit of publicity.

Or maybe she’s actually not a bad human being and is using her fame for a great cause that could genuinely save lives. Good on her.

Sorry I’m with Brissles on this

Well said Radiomike!

 

[boffy]

she is funny and seems like a nice enough person plus on QVC she is very good at presenting

I don't understand the intense dislike some posters have for Amanda Holden. I don't know her, have never met her, but she seems like a good egg.

Over 70's are not able to get one atm due to a back log so U have been informed.

I noticed that she is 49 but I was quite sure that you don't get "invited" for a screening until you are 50. In fact our surgery nurse warned me that it could be up to a year later than that. Mind you, if it brings more women go for it I am all for it.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion- thankfully this is this forums at its best.

 

[Brissles]

Well, she's always been good column inches fodder, from leaving the chorus line when she nabbed Les Dennis, the menage a trois with Neil Morrissey, showing her a.....se on Good Morning when she stood in for HW, publicising her personal despair when grieving, and her love of garnering critical responses to her dress choices. Wouldn't be my choice as a mate or as someone for 'inspiration'.

Thanks for the heads up... but I have a fair few years to go until I reach that landmark birthday. I am expecting the backlog to be cleared by then - or will it

I had my last automatic mammagram just before my 69th birthday. After my last one I was given a card with the date I was due for one but it was up to me to ring. Mine is due this month but,after reading the news re over 70's I thought I would wait until after Christmas.

After the last one that I had where I had a trainee mauling me about and felt that she was going to pop my **** where she clamped me in so tight I am in no hurry to get back there.
The first one I had was actually the day after my 50th birthday, nurse was wrong there, and it was carried out by 2 lovely oriental ladies. They kept wishing me a happy birthday

I’ve found the recent ones much more comfortable than my first zillion years ago TBH was like a vice and extremely painful.

 

[user 22184]

I didn't know it was such a painful procedure. It sounds barbaric. I thought they'd apply some gel to your ****s and use that ultrasound wand, or whatever it's called.

 

[shopperholic]

I’ve been offered a mammogram a few times but the thought of having my chesticles in a vice like grip, doesn’t really appeal.

Unfortunately not. “They” are individually clamped between plates at the most difficult angles .

Still it is a small price to pay every (5?] years

 

[Brissles]

Any treatment that is able to detect anything sinister early is worth having. The mammogram with a good practitioner can take less than 10 minutes. Even the home kit for poo samples is not pleasant but what the hell, whatever it takes.

My only exception to the above would be having an Endoscopy without anaesthetic - NOT recommended. I had one earlier this year, and because I lived on my own they wouldn't give me anaesthetic, so I had to endure the most tortuous 10 minutes of my life. It felt like a hosepipe being stuffed down my throat (with a camera to see my stomach), and of course I was continually gagging and burping because of the air being pumped. It was medieval. The only upside was I was able to leave after tea and biscuits, but the anaesthetic can take over an hour recovery. So if anyone has to have one done in the future, then ensure you have an anaesthetic, - you DON'T want to be aware of whats going on.

Thankfully, nothing sinister was detected.

My first, the Radiographer said to me this must have been designed by a man as no woman would!

Some areas invite women who are approaching 50, I wondered if she'd had it done privately but couldn't see any branding/logo.

I've always found it extremely painful, & that's from someone who had three babies without any pain relief. The second time was the worst & I had a broken rib - good fun a week before Christmas. An ultrasound can't find the early signs which is why we endure the big metal squeeze.
