The American Cancer Society suggests that women have mammograms every year after forty, and that they should start self-exams at twenty. I think if you feel a change in your breast, particularly a lump, it merits a trip to the doctor. Your doctor will probably send you for a mammogram. These screening tests are very available and covered by most insurance.
