    BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- Healthy women should begin getting mammograms every year or two once they reach age 40, experts say. Here are tips from the American Cancer Society and other experts: •Find an experienced, high-volume center with accomplished radiologists. You can ask for their credentials. •Ask to see the certificate showing the center is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. •Use the same center regularly, so it's easier to compare your new mammograms with your old ones. •Bring a list of places you've had mammograms, dates, biopsies, or other breast treatments. Bring old mammograms or have them sent. •Describe any breast problems to the person doing the mammogram. Be ready to give past surgeries, hormone use, and family or personal history of breast cancer. •Call your doctor or center to check on the mammogram if you hear nothing within 10 days. Don't assume everything was normal. |
