It's often 40 with no family history, but take a look at your insurance coverage (if you have any) and talk to your doctor.Originally Posted by sgtiger

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Well, it hurts, but it really is over pretty quickly. Not the worst thing in the world. Originally Posted by lph

My personal plan is to repeat 49 and then skip right to 51 to avoid that. :/

Just please everyone educate yourself before you consent to any medical procedure, screenings included. There's been a lot in the news lately; read the studies behind the news stories, talk to people who've had "positives."

Oakleaf, while it sounds like you don't want to be dragged into a debate about mammography--and I certainly appreciate that--I'd genuinely be interested to learn more. If you could direct me to the news stories and/or studies you're referring to, I'd like to read them. I believe in mammography, but at the end of the day, I just want to make informed decisions. My attempt to Google has brought up more information than I can wade through. Feel free to post here or PM me. Or, if you'd just rather not, I understand. Originally Posted by OakLeaf

Also not a big deal; but schedule so you have someone to drive you home and you can spend the rest of the day lying around pretending to be a princess. Originally Posted by Sadie

This thread reminds me that for last year's mammogram I was dressed in a Halloween costume, so it must be coming up again. The previous year I went to the "wrong" center and my health insurance covered exactly 0% of it.
