Its where they look at your moms breast to check and see if she has cancer. All women get them.

It's a screening for lumps/abnormalties in the breast. It may be a bit uncomfortable, but it won't hurt. Tell your mom not to worry...it's a common procedure for all women!

They take a womans boob and squish it until it is a pancake inside of a machine and take pictures to check for lumps. They hurt like HELL!

radiographic examination of the breast... or simply stated, an x-ray of the breast... routinely recommended examination for women 40 years old and above... or younger than 40 years if there is a strong family history of breast cancer in the family...

Mammography is a specific type of imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system to examine breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, is used to aid in the diagnosis of breast diseases in women like cancer.
