Mammogram

[joyful noise 101]

Does anyone have an idea how long to wait before having a mammogram after surgery? Looks like my surgery will be in early November and my yearly mammogram is usually the week after Christmas.

I would think you should be fine. The only issue I see with having a mammogram is some of those wierd positions they make you stand may aggravate the larger incision where they had to cut through the muscle. I'm 4 weeks postop now and have had quite a bit of pain issues and feel like if I needed one today, I'd be fine to do it. You may just want to take a couple Tyelnol beforehand just to be on the safe side.
