Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Hi all, Wanted to throw in my 2 cents. I was 38 at time of surgery (turned 39 a month later) and did not have to have a mammogram. Last one for me was May 1999.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Hi a: Your message went through and you had several replies. You only need a mammogram if your PCP says you need one. Dr. R wants a pap and a mammo, if needed. I was 57 when I had my surgery so I knew that I would need one..and I was a few months overdue anyway. Check the manual...I'm pretty sure it it worded...if needed...and I don't think you will need one.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Amy, I was (at 53yrs. old) suggesting that I might be confused!!! LOL not you, Sweetie (at 25).. My buddy Jude already reminded me what an old lady I am.. and that's why I needed the mamogram.
