Wendy,

I have never been asked about breastfeeding prior to a mammogram, however I
recently filled out a lengthy questionnaire prior to being tested for the
BRACA 1 and 2 genes (HBOC) and there were at least 3 or 4 questions related
to breastfeeding that the geneticist discussed with me.

...When I go for a mammography I answer a questionnaire about general health

issues and family history and nowhere is there a question about the duration

of breastfeeding.
May we all be healthy
