I on the other hand had a normal mammogram July 2006 and just 3 months later found the rather large lump in my breast. I am more a component for self breast exams. My daughter who is 35, was advised by my onc to start yearly mammograms now. Her GYN didn't feel this was necessary even with the strong family history we have . I had her come to North Carolina and the Doc. I work for ordered her mammogram. I will do this every year for her if necessary.
