I now know first hand that routine mammography can be a life-saver. Due to subtle changes from my last screening, I recently had a breast biopsy and am relieved (to say the least) that it was benign.
Nearly all cancers can be treated successfully if found early. The most effective ways to detect breast cancer at an early, treatable stage are to have a yearly screening mammogram starting at age 40. For more detailed information, including prevention visit: www.cancer.org and www.komen.org
Scheduling your mammogram and/or yearly physical the week of your birthday is a great way be sure it gets done.
