LOL, surely those who "believe in prophylaxis" will say "Yes, give it
to her before!" Those who "don't believe in it", will say "No, wait
until after, and treat according to the symptoms if any." But--You
knew that!

I won't express an opinion either way at the moment--but if she is so
fearful of the mammogram, *and* there have been so many (IMO) very good
reasons published for *not* taking mammograms, why doesn't she just
skip it? Might the new(ish) "thermal imaging" technology be a better
alternative?
(A few years back someone had posted a VERY FUNNY "review" of mammogram
procedure--does anyone by any chance have that? I seem to have lost
mine.)
