Question 5

what should i expect from a baseline digital mammogram?

Accepted Answer

Satisfaction...: ...That you have taken a proactive step to check for breast cancer before it is palpable,  significantly increasing your chance for cure.

Question 6

how long after i stop nursing can i get a baseline mammogram?

i am going for a baseline digital mammogram. what should i expect?

A dood idea: Do not apply deodorant that day. The test takes only a few minutes but leave yourself an hour or longer for the paper work and if they had to do more images. Some patients experience some discomfort with the mammogram. But most do not. You should be able to resume your usual activities afterwards. If you don't receive your results in 2-3 weeks call and inquire. Also schedule a clinical breast exam.
