Already had mine, the new digital ones need less compression :D :D . Everything looks good. But 10 years ago I found my lump through self examination! It did not show up on either the screening mammogram, nor the diagnostic mammogram. Thank God my doctor agreed with me when I said I wanted it out anyway. I am now a 11 (almost 12) year survivor :D :D So even if you've had your mammogram done...keep up that BSE on a monthly basis!!

they found my CA on a routine mamo two years ago. To small to be felt by me. So now I have it done every year and get checked by the oncologist with bld wk etc. every 4 months for the next 3 yrs. So far I am free of Ca but one never knows.

Yes, it is imperative you get your mammograms. My good friend, had a spot this year that was not on last years mammogram. The surgeon said it was Stage 1, because it was not there before. I agree, the digital isn't half as bad as the old 'film' ones.
Lesley, what is Ireland thinking? You ladies must join forces and dispel that outdated thinking. My friend is 67, so age has nothing to do with it. All ages can get breat cancer.
