Guest guest Posted January 31, 2001 Report Share Posted January 31, 2001 The protocol suggested by my daughter, Arden R. Moulin, WHCNP, is that all ladies have a baseline mammogram done prior to implants, regardless of age. Then to have a mammogram every 2-years following. Make certain the facility you are using, knows in advance, that you have breast implants, and can assure you they will have someone available who knows exactly how to handle mammograms for a patient with breast implants. If you get a radiologist doing a mammogram that doesn't seem to know exactly what they are doing, insist they stop, find someone else, or you reschedule. Do Not Take Chances! Make certain you keep a copy of each mammogram you ever have, although it is illegal for any imaging facility to destroy or purge old mammograms, sometimes they disappear anyway! Hope this is helpful information.
