I am a 4-yr survivor. Just got my yearly mammogram last Friday and waiting on results. I know they say now that you should only have one every 2 years if previous ones have been clear and there is no history of BC in your family. However, I fell into this category and wasn't going to have my yearly one, but was going to wait another year. Well, the card came in the mail reminding me to make an appointment for my yearly one. So, I said OK, keep them off my back. That's when they found something, confirmed by a biopsy. I had Stage 1. Had a lumpectomy and radiation. No telling what I would have needed if I had waited that extra year. Don't put your mammogram off!
