@GottaLaff@mastodon.social My first diagnosis was at age 40. My baseline mammogram was at 35. I happen to really really disagree with the older requirements for baseline mammograms. I would be dead.

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social I'd venture to say start at 30. I got my first at 35. I had 1 friend & 2 work acquaintances be diagnosed with breast cancer at ages 34, 39 & 42. The youngest was diagnosed after being hospitalized for another illness. I believe early screening would help a lot of people.
