Went in for a mammogram today.  I was able to schedule it at the clinic near my house again so it was a pretty quick drive there and then a pretty quick procedure.  My appointment was set for 1:20 and I got there a few minutes early and was out of there by 1:30.  I should get the results from it in a few days.  I always find the paperwork that I have to do a little annoying though.  They should be able to easily look up all of my records up to this point and the fact that I have to fill out info about why I am having the scan done and if anyone in my family has had breast or ovarian cancer seems a little redundant.  There was also no where on there to mark that I have ovarian cancer.  The questionnaire asked if this was a routine scan or a result of some recent breast abnormalities so I marked routine scan - which it is at this point.  I also think they should add a question asking if the person knows if they are BRCA-1 positive or not.
