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 getting a mammogram is that it can help detect breast cancer at an early stage when treatment is more likely to be successful. It can also help identify any changes in your breasts that may be caused by other conditions such as cysts or fibroadenomas. Finally, it can help you and your doctor determine if further testing is necessary.
