It seems to vary from dr. to dr., & they seem to change the thinking year by year as well...latest I heard, if there's no family history of breast cancer, mammygrams can wait until after 50 (that's what mrs zoid has to look forward to now)...part of the debate was whether exposing healthy under-50 breasts to repeated x-rays was really helpful, or increasing the risk unneccesarily...
