I have my mammogram on Thursday and if everything is clear I really want to move on, enjoy life and not worry afterwards that I will def get C from it and that I am doomed.

I hope everything is clear and if it is I don't want to be worrying about my fear of the radiation afterwards that it has harmed me, or thinking I didn't need it afterall.

Any tips from anyone that knows how I get past the horrible dread that I felt last time that the radiation is going to give me C now and therefore the constant checking and googling starts again like last time I really don't want to do that this time I just want to move on afterwards.

Any tips how I can get past this, and when I feel the urge to google how I can stop myself researching as it scares me so much :(x

Ok, the dose of radiation you get during a mammogram is really very small - you would have to have hundreds, if not thousands of them done to have any appreciable risk at all.

Hope this helps.
