Early Detection Saves Lives Annual mammograms are recommend beginning at age 40. Mammograms are the best screening tool available to detect breast cancer at its earliest and most treatable stages. With early detection and treatment, women greatly increase their changes of survival. What is a mammogram? A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast. To get a good picture, the technician needs to flatten the breast momentarily and you feel pressure. You may feel uncomfortable, but it only lasts a few seconds. Contact your doctor for a referral. Early detection saves lives! Do it for yourself and the people who love you. |
