MAMMOGRAM

A diagnostic mammogram is an x-ray of the breast used to diagnose unusual breast changes, such as a lump, pain, nipple thickening or discharge, or a change in breast size or shape. A diagnostic mammogram is also used to evaluate abnormalities detected on a screening mammogram. It is a basic medical tool and is appropriate in the workup of breast changes, regardless of a woman's age.

. What is the position of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) on screening mammograms?
The National Cancer Institute recommends that women in their forties or older get screening mammograms on a regular basis, every 1 to 2 years.

Women who are at increased risk for breast cancer should seek medical advice about when to begin having mammograms and how often to be screened. (For example, a doctor may recommend that a woman at increased risk begin screening before age 40 or change her screening intervals to every year.)

(NOTE:)
I am "NOT" responsable for starting this group. God lead me to start this group so others such as yourself would have a safe "Heaven" to turn to durning this rough time in your life. A place where others have walked down that same road your traveling on and completly understand what your going through.
This is His way of touching each of us with Love and Support durning this tough time in our lives, and then He leads the rest of us into helping and reaching out to eachother so we know were not alone ever. Glory To God,
So next time you want to say thank you, Thank our Heavenly Father, who used my fingers to move through for "HIS GLORY", I Thank Him Always for allowing me to be an ever so small part of this wonderful group where my Jesus shine's through.. Glory To God!!

God will not lead you, where "HIS GRACE" cannot keep you
