Self-examination is how my mother discovered a lump that turned-out to be breast cancer, and at the time, she was only 35. What would have happened if she had waited 15 years to get that checked-out? I seriously doubt she'd still be alive.
And while self-examination doesn't lead to lower death rates, it does increase your chance of early detection, and usually, the earlier you catch the cancer, the better. You can probably wait on the actual mammogram unless you or your doctor feel the need to have it done, but there are so many women who develop this cancer before age 50, I think it would be dumb to not at least check yourself, regardless of what age you are.
