Mammogram Checklist (BSE) A Mammography (low-level x-ray) is considered the best method to detect abnormal growths in breast tissue. It is recommended that women have a baseline mammogram at least by age 40, and sooner if you have a history of breast cancer in your family. Why not schedule to go with a friend for support? We created this checklist to help you keep track of your mammogram visits and results with this checklist. We've also included a few mammography tips. We hope this checklist helps you. :) Mammogram Tips: Do not schedule your mammogram the week before your period. Premenstrual symptoms may make a mammogram uncomfortable. 10 days before, abstain from caffeine and avoid taking medication that contains caffeine. Caffeine has a tendency to make breasts more tender and lumpy. On the day of your exam, wear a shirt instead of a dress, and do not use any deodorant, powder, perfume, creams, or lotions in your underarm or breast area. These items leave a residue that may be picked up on an x-ray and possibly interfere with your mammogram results. *Before you Print* This is a one-page 8½" x 11" checklist You can view this 1-page checklist by using Adobe Reader.
