For 5 of those years I have worked in a healthcare organization. One of the most talked about topics is breast cancer and breast health. Temporary Breast Cancer Ribbon Tattoos The bottom line is that although breast cancer is not preventable, it is usually easily detectable.
Note: Breast cancer is not race specific – all races get breast cancer!
Note: Breast cancer is not gender specific – men get breast cancer too!
When breast cancer is caught in the early stages the chances of survival are very high. Please don’t add yourself or a friend or loved one to the growing list of statistics. Take action today! Here is a simple three part action step plan to help you with the early detection of breast cancer.
Part One: Regular Mammograms
Ladies, this is the most important part of maintaining good breast health: regular mammograms. Mammograms are fast, simple x-rays similar to the x-rays you get at a dentist’s office visit. In fact, mammograms actually use less radiation than a dental x-ray!
Mammograms put you light years ahead when it comes to cancer treatment because they can detect breast lumps long before you or your doctor could physically feel a breast lump. Because early detection is a key to survival, you need to put regular mammograms on your schedule.
The American Cancer Society recommends regular mammograms for all women starting at age 40. If you have a family history of breast cancer, your physician may want you to start a regular mammogram schedule much earlier.
