New Proposed Changes to Mammogram Guidelines

[lizm100]

I have no history of breast cancer and I am the youngest of 6 girls. If it wasn't for digital mammography, my cancer would have not been caught at the age of 38 at a very early stage. I had no lump but a thickening that only I felt. Due to my being persistent (after 2 visits) my doctor finally ordered a mammogram. At worst case with the present guidelines, I would of had to wait till the age of 40 for a mammogram not 50! I don't want to imagine what would have happened to her2+++ cancer 12 years later.
