I've been told I have to get a mammogram. What is a mammogram and why do I need one?

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. It’s used to detect early signs of breast cancer. The goal of a mammogram is to find any lumps or other abnormalities in your breasts that could be signs of cancer. Mammograms are recommended for women over 40 who have had at least two children, as well as those with a family history of breast cancer.
