Hi all, at 44 I thought that I should go and have my first mammogram done and booked in for mid April 2014. I had no symptoms and regularly checked for lumps. On 6 May was required to have a followup...
With all the people i know who had bc in their 40s i am wondering if we shouldn't all start having our checkups well before 50.
I know the issue is "dense breast" while still menstruating however the more aggressive cancers are those diagnosed while technically "young" ie menstruating women.
So glad you like me started having mammos in our 40s.
Your pink sister,
Carol
