MY MOTHER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER ABOUT 9 YEARS AGO AND UNDERWENT RADIATION TREATMENT. BECAUSE SHE HAD A MAMMOGRAM EVERY YEAR THEY WERE ABLE TO TREAT HER SINCE IT WAS IN THE EARLY STAGE. SHE IS DOING WELL THANK GOD!! I GET CHECKED EVERY YEAR DUE TO THE RISK. THE EXAM DOESNT TAKE LONG AT ALL AND COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE. ITS WORTH IT THOUGH. PLEASE HAVE A MAMMOGRAM EVERY YEAR.
