Due to my usual procrastination, I missed mine last year. But after my sister had such a horrible breast cancer this year, I will 'gladly' have mine yearly now. Hers is a fast growing aggressive cell and the doctor said that even if she had one every 6 months it wouldn't have caught it in time. My maternal Grandmother also had breast cancer so I guess I'm locked into having one now for the rest of my life. My Mother has it in her living will that she does not want anymore surgeries for anything, except emergency like broken hip, she will no longer have a mamogram. But she is 83.
