Getting breast cancer doesn't mean you are going to die. Early detection is the key, and the key to early detection is mammography. If you find a lump, seek medical attention immediately. Some cancers grow very fast. Waiting could cost your life.
Life goes on after breast cancer.
Many women feel empowered after overcoming breast cancer. Every year, from your 40th birthday on, have a mammogram. Most insurance plans cover mammography. Low-cost or free mammograms also are available. Call the Cancer Society or your local Breast Center to make arrangements.
