Women and Mammograms
The american cancer society has always recommended women over 40 get an annual mammogram as we all know.
Now the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (a panel of experts that advise the Federal government on health issues) says Most women need to get mammograms only once every two years and ONLY between the ages of 50 and 74.
My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 38. If these guidelines were in place back then I guess she might not be here.
What do you think ladies??? Our sisters, our daughters, etc going WITHOUT mammograms??
