Major New upgrades on Mammography

@colleenyoung Thank you for your reply. I’m not too good at getting links in my posts. Glad to hear Mayo Clinic’s still recommending yearly mammograms. I wanted to post as I don't think this is good healthy information. It’s about money and not health. Thank you again for posting the links for all of us to follow and read.

Like you, I have been hearing about the new recommendations all over the news telling women they only need to get them every other year. These have changed at least twice before since I was diagnosed in my 30s.
I have learned that most women (who haven’t been touched by breast cancer) have a mental block about this and love every other year. It is a threat they don’t want to think about.
We know better, so I beg, plead and grovel to get my friends in for screening, every year if possible.
I am not at all surprised that Mayo is still recommending every year. Thank you for bringing up this all important topic.

@sequoia I totally agree with the yearly mammogram screening. My oldest daughter missed hers at age 40 (because of COVID). At age 41 her screening revealed stage 4 breast cancer. My youngest daughter got her screening at age 40. It revealed stage 2 breast cancer. That it was caught earlier seems to make it much more treatable than her sister’s.
