Self breast examination is important but your hands can only feel what is already big enough to feel. What about the ones that are not?
That is exactly where mammogram screening comes in.
A mammogram is a low dose X-ray that detects breast tumours, lumps, cysts, and abnormalities at the earliest possible stage, long before they can be felt by hand. And in breast cancer, early detection is everything. It is the difference between a simple fix and a complicated one.
If you are a woman between 50 and 70, you should be having a mammogram every three years. No symptoms needed. No lump required. Just a routine scan that could catch something life-saving before it becomes life-threatening.
When was your last mammogram? Is one due? Have you ever had one?
If the answer is never book one now. Not tomorrow. Now.
