Mammograms A Must!
I read with great sadness about a 41 year old comedienne and actress Tig Notaro who waited over a year to follow up on a lump she felt and now has cancer in both breasts. It infuriates me that her regular doctor told her not to worry about it when she mentioned it a year ago when she was dealing with other serious medical issues. Now, of course, she is dealing with a much more serious problem than she would have a year ago.
PLEASE, follow your own instincts and get a mammogram when you feel anything in your breasts. Early detection is key in a positive outcome. The sooner something is detected, the smaller it is and the more likely it will be at an earlier state.
If you are due for a mammogram, make the appointment and get it done. Do not delay.
Linda, thank you for the reminder. It is on my “to do” list, but somehow other urgent things always seem to push it back further down the list, then I run out of time in the day. I will not let this happen this time! Monday morning I will make the appointment!! I hope that you’re urging will help more women to do the same.
