Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 a, Unless something has changed you must have one.

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.

(I was 35 at MGB time) It was much easier to do post-op. I even considered waiting in the car next time......yes..........the car! I have no breasts left! I took off my t-shirt after Jazzercise and they literally fell out the bottom of my " sports bra " (Time to get a new bra!) On a serious note,though, I did have an abnormal mammogram. We are tracking an abnormal area,that's probably just a lymph node,but I want to keep an eye on it. So,my point is that even if you don't need a mammo for the MGB,seriously consider having one when you no longer have breasts. It didn't hurt,and could save your life.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 a, Dr. R does not require a mammogram. In the absence of family history to indicate one, it is my understanding that you do not need a baseline mammogram until you are 40.
