Per cancer.org, "Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. Currently, the average risk of a woman in the United States developing breast cancer sometime in her life is about 13%. This means there is a 1 in 8 chance she will develop breast cancer. This also means there is a 7 in 8 chance she will never have the disease."
I had my first mammogram last year and it was actually quite quick. I remember hearing the stories from female family members and friends about how painful it used to be. Thankfully, technology has really evolved and has made this test faster with only a little discomfort which was my experience.
