(HealthDay News) -- Before scheduling or showing up for a mammogram, you should be fully prepared to get the best results.
The National Women's Health Information Center offers these guidelines for what to do before a mammogram:
* When scheduling the appointment, plan to go about one week after your period. Your breasts will be less sore at this time.
* If you have breast implants, make sure you tell the facility about them when you schedule your appointment.

As women, we are probably all aware of the importance of getting an annual exam, and for those of us over 40, a yearly mammogram.
But what about an annual bone density test? How many of you out there who are over 40 have gotten one of those lately?

It all started with the Personal Healthcare Journal for Seniors.
My mother-in-law sees five different healthcare providers and was having trouble remembering who said what. After much research I created a tool to help her record and track her medical information. Check it out at www.mycarenecessities.com
The book has been out for just six weeks and the response has been amazing - not so much from the seniors but from the baby-boomer generation.
