I'm getting a huge fibroid tumor & my uterus removed on May 27th. I accepted the uterus being removed because it's so inter-meshed with tumor, it's easier. But I'm wondering about my future mammograms. I've had them every year because I have lumpy breasts. Not a great concern since I was closely monitored for a while & the lumps aren't suspicious. But I've always had such dense breasts & have to be crushed so much--can it get easier with a hysterectomy? I always cry, take tylenol ahead of time, avoid caffeine & avoid my periods when booking--it's a nightmare.
