Why get a mammogram?
Because it could save your life! Seriously. According to the American Cancer Society, despite advanced technology and increased awareness -- breast cancer remains the #2 cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Regular mammograms not only put your mind at ease but alert you of possible tumors, cysts and calcifications that will more than likely be biopsied to determine their state. If the are benign then great! If they are not, you need to do something about it or it can get worse and overcome you. Mammograms can detect lesions even way before you or your doctor can feel a lump.
