Data: You can expect to be told that you do or don't have abnormal cells in your cervix, that you do or don't have abnormal calcifications in your breast, and that your cholesterol is healthy or high. Good luck. You're smart to get tested.

3 different tests: Cholesterol test is bloodwork. You will go to the blood lab for them to draw a tube of blood. Mammogram is a screening test for breast cancer typically start at age 40 unless you have a problem or are at high risk. Breasts are compressed in the mammogram machine and xrays taken (2 per breast usually). Pap -speculum inserted into vagina and cells scraped from cervix to test for cervical cancer.
