Answer 1

It depends on which country you live. In many countries last month - October as it was breast cancer awareness month free mammogram was done. Even now in some countries mammogram is done free of cost, in some at a nominal fees. In any case it would not be much and it will be affordable to anyone. Where they charge for mammograms, some subsidiary also given. You can inquire locally and get the best option.

Anyway, please do not bother for the money to be spent and heave the mammogram done, immediately as regular check up will benefit you in detection of the disease at early stage itself, which is easier to treat. In this connection please see me blogs on mammograms, prevention and other topics of Breast Cancer awareness at link - http://360.yahoo.com/jayaramanms -

Low-cost and free mammography

Most insurance companies cover the cost of mammograms. In addition, in many areas of the country, low-cost or free mammograms are provided as part of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program or through community organizations, such as the YWCA. In October each year, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many radiology facilities offer mammography at reduced rates. To find out how to get a low-cost or free mammogram or to find a certified radiology center in your area, call Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s Breast Care Helpline at 1-800 I'M AWARE (1-800-462-9273).
