Exposing Myself

I am a 46-year-old mother of four daughters.

I have never had a mammogram.

I don't have a good excuse.

I have good health insurance.

I've been to my gynecologist recently for a pap smear and a breast exam.

My doctor urged me to get a mamogram.

My doctor gave me a number to call to schedule a mammogram.

I haven't done it yet.

I know I could be risking my life, so why haven't I had this test?
