Absolutely!: People with a family history of breast cancer are at more risk for having breast cancer themselves. This type of cancer can manifest rapidly and can metastasize very fast. Your doctor will want a baseline exam for you before you have any problems so that when you do, he can compare to the baseline. Don't wait. Go now!

Yes: Guidelines for screening mammograms in standard risk women (without a strong family history of breast cancer) recommend that mammograms begin between age 40 and 50 depending on the woman's preference. Screening starts earlier in higher risk situation such as with a family history. In this situation, I would not recommend waiting until age 50. Family Medicine, Women's Health, or OB/GYN can help
