2 weeks ago, I had my very first mammogram ever, and I am coming on here because I've been holding out for so long because I was afraid of it, because of all of these hearsay about how it's painful, etc., etc. And it's highly recommended after you turn 40 that you start doing it every year. And I've been 40 for the last 4 years going on 5 years, so you can imagine 5 years of holding out because I was so scared. Listen, it wasn't that bad. It wasn't as bad as I feared it to be. So I want to come on here and let you know, please do it because we need to know what's under that hood. We need to know what's going on inside our body because we may just look very healthy, just like myself. I'm— I eat very healthy, I have really good nutrition, I exercise, but you just never know. So ladies, make sure you go get your annual mammogram today.
