I had my first mamogram at age 53...all was normal.  I had the 'diagnostic' mamogram and had that shown anything abnormal or suspicious my physcian would have had me then have an ultra-sound (not biopsy)....
I avoided mamograms for years (obviously)...my homeopathic Dr. thought I should have at age 40, if all was normal then again at 45....I can't say what his recommendations are now but I never got one at age 40.
Like you; I wonder if the risks outweigh the benefits.  I've pondered this for some time and decided to get a mamogram (again; at age 53) for a few reasons.  Early detection saves lives!  And also I have daughters, and thought I at least owed it to them....I will go again next year for another mamogram...can't say what I'll do after that.  My health isn't only for myself; it's also for my family...so I often have to take their input and let them weigh in.  I'm the only mother they have!
My two cents; for what it's worth!

Q. I am scheduled for a mammogram in a few weeks. My GP and I are in disagreement over mammograms - she feels that I definitely need to have one whereas I try to avoid radiation as much as possible.

I know there are other methods of breast screening out there but none are available within this vicinity and come at a large cost when they are available.

I do self examinations regularly and my GP does an annual breast manipulation and has found nothing of alarm.

Am I being paranoid about radiation and are my fears of creating other issues (possibly caused by radiation) legitimate and/or well-founded?

Who knows - maybe it will 'surface' (sooner than later) that mammograms ARE one of the causes of breast cancer. Even my Naturopath feels I should have a mammogram.

Needless to say, Dr. Kim, at the moment I am feeling pressured into having one.

Any advice and/or thoughts on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Susan S., Canada
