[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something like 50% of women under 50 or mid 50s get called back. It's really horrible. In fact, some reputable experts advise less frequent screening mammograms in healthy women with no family history or other risk factors because of that.[/quote] This. We moved to Europe and my new doctor was shocked to hear I was having annual mammograms starting at 40 with no family history. Definitely not the standard here. [/quote] The thing is, most women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history. I am one of them. So I now advocate for regular mammograms starting at 40. If caught early, you might not need extensive surgery, or chemo. That being said, callbacks are almost always nothing so OP is probably just fine.[/quote]
