I don't blame you for asking for help. I'd be worried, too. I had a grandmother who had a double mastectomy, and I have a stepmom who had a lumpectomy and chemo. I wish you and your mom the best.....

The FL Dept of Health has help:

I also checked on Yahoo answers, and there was a post from a mammographer from California who posted this:

Here are some resources that you should check into. Many of these programs will follow you all the way through a biopsy, if it turns out you need one.

To locate a FDA certified, accredited mammography facility in your area, call the National Cancer Institute at 1-800-4-CANCER. If you do not have health insurance, you have a number of options:

****Call your local chapter of the American Cancer Society (number in your phone book) or the national toll-free number, 1-800-ACS-2345. The ACS will be able to tell you about any low-cost or free mammography programs offering screening to women unable to pay for it themselves.

****Call your State Department of Health (number in your phone book). Every state now has a Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program funded by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This program offers screening to qualifying women unable to pay for it themselves.

****Call the YWCA's ENCOREplus Program for access to low-cost or free mammograms. To find which YWCA facilities offer this service and if you are eligible, call 1-800-95EPLUS or your local YWCA.

****Call the National Cancer Institute at 1-800-4-CANCER for the names of FDA-certified, accredited mammography facilities in your area. If you explain your financial situation, some mammography facilities are willing to work out a lower fee or payment schedule that will make the test more affordable. Ask the facility if they are willing to discuss these options with you.

****October of each year is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and many mammography facilities offer special fees and extended hours during this month. If you are unable to schedule a mammogram another time of year, you may wish to call in September to reserve an appointment.

thank you for taking the time in reading this. xoxo Yadie

She may also qualify for government assistance, but she can verify that and also find locations offering free or low cost mammograms in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties at this resource center! Also, Florida law now mandates health insurance carriers to offer better if not 100% coverage for mammograms!
