Frequently asked questions about our breast cancer care services

A mammogram is an X-ray exam of your breast. A mammogram can help find problems with your breasts, such as cysts or cancer.

Start a conversation with your doctor to find out when you should begin having yearly breast screenings. We recommend women get a mammogram every year, beginning at age 40. You may need to have a mammogram sooner if you have risk factors or a family history of breast cancer. Most insurance providers cover a mammogram each year. Check with your insurance provider for more details on your coverage.

You’ll need to undress from the waist up and wear a gown during your mammogram. The technologist will position your breast to get the clearest test results. Then, each of your breasts will be compressed one at a time. This helps get the most complete X-ray image. Your breasts will be repositioned to get at least two separate views of each breast.

Your time is important, so we make getting a mammogram as convenient as possible. The entire procedure is about 20 minutes. But, the actual breast compression only takes a few seconds for each breast.

You may find the pressure of the plates on your breasts to be uncomfortable. Timing your mammogram when your breasts are not tender is important. In premenopausal women, this is usually one week after your menstrual period. If you have discomfort or pain during your mammogram, ask your technologist to reposition you to try to make it as painless as possible. Remember that each X-ray takes just a few moments.

Avoid using deodorant, powder or lotions on the day of your mammogram. We also recommended wearing a top that’s easy to remove, since you’ll be asked to undress from the waist up and wear a gown.

After your mammogram, a radiologist will read your mammogram and send a report to your doctor. You’ll typically get your results around one week after your mammogram.

Just because something abnormal is found during your mammogram doesn’t always mean there is cancer. But you will need to have additional mammograms or tests done. You may also be referred to a breast care specialist or a surgeon at Ascension St. John — this doesn’t mean you have cancer or need surgery. These doctors specialize in diagnosing breast problems. By doing follow-up tests, we can diagnose breast cancer or find that there is no cancer.

We can connect you with resources and programs that may be able to help you and your family with options for financial assistance. Our financial counseling team is here to listen to your concerns and work with you to help find options that meet your needs. Your cancer care team can connect you to a financial counselor.
