My doctor wants me to get a mammogram, but I'm afraid of what I might find. What are the benefits of a mammogram?

The main benefit of a mammogram is that it can help detect breast cancer in its early stages when it's most treatable. It also helps to rule out other conditions such as cysts and fibrocystic changes. A mammogram can be used to diagnose breast cancer at an earlier stage, which means there’s a greater chance for successful treatment and better outcomes.
