• Yearly mammograms are recommended starting at age 40 and continuing for as long as a woman is in good health.
I’m getting close to that age, this is good to know.
Mary–40 maybe the magic number, but I have found more and more women I know having breast cancer in their 30’s. My friend was 32 when she found out. So I say make sure you are doing your self exams every month regardless of not being quite 40 yet and if you find something suspicious–40 or not–demand a mammogram.

Great giveaway and great cause! Mammography is especially valuable as an early detection tool because it can identify breast cancer at an early stage, usually before physical symptoms develop when the disease is most treatable.
“Every three minutes, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer”
That information is very eye opening. To know this is so widespread and unfortunately common should definitely push the cure initiative
Mamograms
About 1,990 men in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008.
My Aunt underwent a double masectomy and has just recently been confirmed to have cancer in her lymph nodes. Hope they find a cure.
great website
Every three minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer thank you so much for trying to promote awareness this is the key to lives lasting much longer than they did in the past great job!
* An estimated 40,930 breast cancer deaths (40,480 women and 450 men) are expected in 2008.
Mammography is the best early warning system to detect the first stages of breast cancer. Get an annual mammogram- try for Fall. It’s a sisterhood tool, and we teach best by example. Think Pink!
Breast cancer is 2nd in cancer deaths for women.

At this time, breast cancer cannot be prevented, which is why regular mammograms are so important; they can find breast cancers early, when they are easier to treat.

Yearly mammograms starting at age 40.
I learned a lot of fact that I was not aware of before today. I am so glad I took the time to visit the myspace and facebook pages this afternoon. I learned that Breast cancer ranks second among cancer deaths in women (after lung cancer). Thank you for offering this very informative giveaway!
An estimated 40,930 breast cancer deaths (of which 450 are men!) are expected in 2008! Early detection, followed by appropriate treatment saves lives and increases treatment options. That’s why I get an annual mammogram. Do stand behind the “starting at age 40…”, start at 21, or before age 30 to receive your mammogram as more and more women are being diagnosed with breast cancer at an earlier age. And don’t overlook getting an annual pelvic exam and pap smear either.

Because doctor exams are only once a year, women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and report any breast change promptly to their health care providers. Breast self-exam is an option for women starting in their 20s.
Very informative site that we can all use.
Thanks for the contest.

After 40, yearly mammograms. It’s been 3 years for me…I’d better make a phone call!
In addition to finding breast cancer early through mammography, women can actually reduce breast cancer risk by making healthy lifestyle choices – maintain a healthy body weight, engage in regular physical activity and reduce alcohol consumption.
