A member asked:

Is it normal to have 3 mammograms in one year?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Being cautious: Sometimes close followup is indicated when findings are uncertain and your mammography center wants to make sure nothing is changing.

Maybe: If you had extra views following a screening mammogram, and short interval follow up was recommended, you could have three mammos in a year.

Dr Munshower and another doctor agreed
