I've heard that if I get a mammogram every year, I won't need to get one in the future. Is this true?

No, it is not true. Mammography screening can help detect cancer early when it is most treatable. It is important to have regular screenings because cancers can develop quickly and become more difficult to treat over time. You should discuss with your doctor whether or not you should continue having annual mammograms based on your individual risk factors.
