It is my understanding that routine mammograms are of no use anyway.
******************************************************
My wife had one yesterday at a local hospital. The local hospital gives them for however much your insurance will pay. No insurance? No charge. No co pays.
This is from the N. Y. Times, writing about mammograms, not a conservative paper by any means:
“It found that the death rates from breast cancer and from all causes were the same in women who got mammograms and those who did not. And the screening had harms: One in five cancers found with mammography and treated was not a threat to the womanâs health and did not need treatment such as chemotherapy, surgery or radiation.”
A cynic would say that a hospital that gives free mammograms is looking for a patient to treat whether they need treatment or not.
Personally, I don’t know enough about the subject, but I hope your wife is fine.
