    Two of my friends were diagnosed with breast cancer this year.

    Both friends were below the starting age generally recommended to begin yearly mammograms.

    Because of their experience I decided to go get my first mammogram. Today.

    I decided the experience of getting a mammogram would be less scary if I tweeted about it, mocked it, or turned it into a game.

    I prefer to think of the mammogram I am about to get as the perky robot pancake boobs squisher machine game.

    Fact: I chose the place where I'm getting my first mammogram based on Yelp reviews. Just like I choose where to get brunch.

    OK, going in now. I will livetweet as circumstances permit, unless it's too boring for you all. It's a little scary, so being share-y helps.

    Sadly no lasers or cats. But the machine has a plastic place where your boobs go, and the room is nice and warm. Didn't hurt much!

    My radiology technician was very nice. I noted on my chart that my father died of ALS. Her brother did too. We hugged. #myfirstmammo

    The hard part about this is the not knowing. I may be able to get results right away, would be great. They do digital here. #myfirstmammo

    .@maggiekb1 yes. I am like that, too, (not ginormously titted) and the technician had to do some boob-jitsu on me.

    OK. I come back in 3 hours for results. I'm to nervous to eat, but not too nervous to tweet. I'm going to watch cat videos. #myfirstmammo

    I'm so used to instant results. Bam! I wish the radiologist could just Google my boobs and go, "You have great SEO!" #myfirstmammo

    The lady doctor who is seeing me at 3 for the results of #myfirstmammo is named Doctor Funk. Seriously. Paging Dr. Funk. cc @blam.
