A little touch of pink
One morning last week I went to have my mammogram after getting the appointment that I was due for one. I know how important it is to keep the date and get myself down to the clinic for a check up.
Don't enjoy the squishing of the breast and would be great if someone could come up with another way of testing, by another method
With the showers of rain we had lately, my Souvenir de Malmaison rose is blooming yet again and I was excited to see the pretty pink rose appear.

Nothing like a little pink rose to lift your spirits.
Have a great week dear friends and thanks for stopping by.
Hope you are well and I look forward to catching up with you soon.
hugs

ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
ReplyDeleteThe roses are so beautiful. I can just imagine their fragrance.
Mammos are no fun and I have been putting mine off.
Gotta get one this Summer.
Blessings to you and love the pink,

Such pretty pink roses. I've just planted two new climbing roses on our new/replacement arbour Looking forward to seeing them bloom, probably the end of May . I do love roses but have never been very successful where I now live. I think it must be the soil. I too am due for a visit to be squashed, I hope you had an all clear result.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pink.....happy week love Ria...x!
ReplyDeleteLovely roses. I read lately an article there is another way of checking the breasts, less painfull, but it seems to be to expensive to explore.
ReplyDeleteI love roses, beautiful flowers!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a lovely day Carolyn!
Kisses, Paola.

Dear Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to read that you had your mammogram done.. I had mine done 2 weeks ago... Yes, you would think that with all the technology they could come up with a more comfortable way to test.
I love your pink rose...
blessings to you dear friend.

Carolyn, your pink roses are so pretty. I especially love that soft pink color. The ones I planted are a bit too pink, and would prefer something softer (but what you plant and what you get are sometimes very different). Do you know that the pink rose is my second favorite after the red rose? I think your pink rose is one of the prettiest I've seen yet. :~)
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
Beautiful my lovely friend.
ReplyDeletegorgeous pink and flowers.
Love you
Jeanne
These roses are so pretty. I hope all went well with the mammogram. I haven't had one yet, but I will start in a few years when I turn 40. Take care and have a good week.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, no fun at all, but so important! Lovely pink rose - the perfect shade of pink! Have a lovely week! xx Karen
ReplyDeletePink roses are so pretty! Hope your test went well!
ReplyDeleteDearest Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteAround June I will have to go for my annual check up... Let's hope they really will detect anything; IF.
Love your Souvenir de Malmaison rose in its lovely pink!
Hugs and happy week.

I love roses and pink is my favourite colour. What a pretty and romantic post.

ReplyDeleteSouvenir de Malmaison is a true classic beauty.
Dearest Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI can well understand that mammography is unpleasant for you too! I was traumatized by my first check (20 years ago) and didn't go to mammography for years. Instead, I made a breast sonography. Some doctors believe that is not accurate enough, some think that is more accurate than mammography. Two months ago I gave the mammogram a new chance and then had a month hard pain in both breasts. Therefore: Only Sonography - my body does not like squeezing and I listen to my body!
I love your pink touches, my dear!
Lots of hugs, Traude
Dear Carolyn
ReplyDeleteIt is an anxious time I know and not the most pleasant experience.
I hope you spoiled yourself by visiting a nice cafe afterwards, and having a treat....
Your Souvenir de Malmaison is stunning, those Autumn blooms are the most precious - will you dry it?
Much love
Shane
It is not a pleasant trip to go to the mammography, but important. I always buy myself a great bouquet of flowers! Groetjes,
ReplyDeleteHetty
Yes having a mammogram is not the most comfortable of things but necessary and one is wise to keep an appointment.
ReplyDeleteI just love the pink blooms, and pink is my favourite colour.
Take Care
All the best Jan
I've never looked in to it so could be wrong but I reckon a man designed those mammography machines.
ReplyDeleteYour Souvenir de Malmaison is so pretty :o)
..oh Carolyn.. that is no fun and I too wish there was another way to do this routine screening. I have an appointment next week and I'm not looking forward to it. I always feel so invaded when I leave and my poor breasts feel like flat pancakes;( Pink always lifts my spirits. Hope you are enjoying a new day.
ReplyDeleteYes...a rose is a rose is a rose, lovely!
ReplyDeleteWarm hug to you,
Titti
So good to see your rose in bloom again! We have spotted some buds appearing on the new roses we have planted . Some are old favourites varieties and others ones that we can't wait to enjoy. I don't know anyone who enjoys those check ups! Sarah x
