    Thanks. We were told that they recommend me and my sisters start getting checked mid 30s since Mum was in her mid 40s but I'm going to do it a bit earlier. Had Mum gotten the type of cancer that is genetic, I would have been tested for that gene and then would have seriously considered a double mastectomy just to eliminate the risk.

    Now I'm wondering, can you have a mammogram done while breastfeeding?

    I was meant to get a mammogram ages ago due to my sister's cancer. Sucks that you have to pay when there is a family history. Almost at the big 40, will be booking then.
