Have you scheduled your mammagram?

Officially, there are only 5 days left in October (Breast Care Awareness month).  The end of the month  should not put an end to our breast care awareness and concerns about our health.

Today's post is courtesy of the American Cancer Foundation and a reminder to schedule your mammagram.

According to the scientists, breast cancer is sometimes found after symptoms appear, but many women with breast cancer have no symptoms. This is why regular breast cancer screening is so important.

Imaging Tests to Find Breast Cancer

Different tests can be used to look for and diagnose breast cancer. If your doctor finds an area of concern on a screening test (a mammogram), or if you have symptoms that could mean breast cancer, you will need more tests to know for sure if it’s cancer.
