Why screening matters
Screening can find breast cancer before you notice symptoms. Finding it earlier may make treatment more effective. A screening result sometimes needs further tests; it is not a diagnosis on its own.
Your screening conversation
Talk with a doctor about when to begin and how often to screen. Your age, family history, previous breast concerns and individual risk all matter. Mention any known inherited risk in your family.
What to expect at a mammogram
A mammogram uses low-dose X-rays to look at breast tissue. Each breast is briefly compressed to take clear images. Let the team know if you are uncomfortable. Ask how you will receive your results and bring details of previous scans.
Get to know your normal
Be aware of how your breasts usually look and feel. Tell a doctor about a new lump, a change in shape or skin, or unusual nipple discharge. Have a new change checked even if a recent screening was normal.
A little clarity: myths & facts
“No family history means no risk.” Family history is only one part of risk. “Every lump is cancer.” Many lumps are not cancer, but a doctor should check a new change. “Screening is only needed if something feels wrong.” Screening is intended to look for changes before symptoms appear.
