Anyboby know how much should i spend on mammography?

It depends on which country you live. In many countries last month - October as it was breast cancer awareness month free mammogram was done. Even now in some countries mammogram is done free of cost, in some at a nominal fees. In any case it would not be much and it will be affordable to anyone. Where they charge for mammograms, some subsidiary also given. You can inquire locally and get the best option.

Anyway, please do not bother for the money to be spent and heave the mammogram done, immediately as regular check up will benefit you in detection of the disease at early stage itself, which is easier to treat. In this connection please see me blogs on mammograms, prevention and other topics of Breast Cancer awareness at link - http://360.yahoo.com/jayaramanms -
