I'm 45 and have never had one. I have a history of female cancers in my family, but not breast cancer. So, I'm waffling. Guess I need to stop doing that and just do it.
Yes, just do it.

I make it pretty easy on myself by scheduling all my annual exams--OB/GYN, my GP and my mammogram--on the same day. I take the day off work and just check them all off my list in one fell swoop. Between the group of them, we've caught some stuff--most recently Grave's Disease. Even when we don't actually catch anything, I feel better about having taken care of myself in this regard. It's a win/win.
