And in KY you have to have a referral from your DR. to get one! Crazy!!! But the Dr. didn't charge me either when I stressed I was only there to get a mammo appt.

How can uninsured or low-income women obtain a free or low-cost screening mammogram?
Some state and local health programs and employers provide mammograms free or at low cost. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) coordinates the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program. This program provides screening services, including clinical breast exams and mammograms, to low-income, uninsured women throughout the United States and in several U.S. territories. Contact information for local programs is available on the CDC’s Web site at http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/cancerconta...p/contacts.asp or by calling the CDC at 1–800–CDC–INFO (1–800–232–4636).
Information about low-cost or free mammography screening programs is also available through NCI’s Cancer Information Service (CIS) at 1–800–4–CANCER (1–800–422–6237). Women can also check with their local hospital, health department, women’s center, or other community groups to find out how to access low-cost or free mammograms.

Schedule mine from year to year. Breast cancer in the family and I have all the markers just not the cancer yet. It almost seems like a waiting game. But I take care of myself as I can and live life to fullest.
God Bless everyone who has posted the reminders.
