Breast Cancer Screening and Prevention


It doesn't matter what time of month you get a mammogram


Many women wonder whether they should be screened before, during or after their period. In fact, it doesn't matter. The result won't be affected, no matter what time of the month you are screened. The only thing to keep in mind is breast tenderness and when it might be more comfortable to be tested.
