At age 46 I was diagnosed with breast cancer that was not detected by mammography.  With a 2 cm lump, it was a self exam and nagging by my doctor to keep up with the self exams that saved my life.  We had had this mammography and self exam discussion 2 year ago.  If you recommend less screening, you have to keep the self exam in the fore front of women's minds.
