Thank you Mashtenn and DD's,
I'd like to share the mammogram results. Lol, the radiologist tech that did the imaging was either anti-trans or was a bit envious?? A robe is supposed to be given when doing a mammogram (per the facilities instructions)... not for me I guess. The technician (middle aged cis-female) says take everything off above the waist (rudely), i say okay (thinking whatever, right?). She has me stand next to a platform where your breasts are situated. She then seems to get perturbed trying to fit my breasts into the imaging plate (for lack of a better term)... my interpretation is she's kneading my boobs like pizza dough, like repeatingly grabbing them from side to side and squishing them. Once the procedure was finished I was told to wait for the results, okay no problem, which I did (about 15 min). The transphobic technician came to the waiting area and said you can go now, your breasts are okay… I said no cancer detected?... she says nope.
See, I have to tell this story because I always get that transphobic treatment. My first encounter with a doctor (endocrinologist) for hrt treatment (2014) told me “you know you can those things cut off ” (meaning my boobs), I said no thank you and requested another doctor, which he refused to offer. I found another hrt doctor thereafter. I heard doctor quack retired shortly after my visit, good riddance too. It's too bad people get treated that way. Now, I see Dr. Powers, (who in my opinion) is hands down the best doctor to see for trans health care. I'm attaching a snapshot of a 3D breast image chart, I fall in-between heterogeneously dense and extremely dense breasts. They're heavy and firm… glandular and not a lot fat.
