National Mammography Day

Post by Lolis »

Well, it was yesterday. Have you had a mammogram recently? If you haven't, have you scheduled one?
From National Day Calendar:

Every year on the third Friday in October, National Mammography Day joins in National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
This day serves as a reminder to all women that the best defense is early detection. A mammogram can often detect a problem before there is any outward physical sign.

HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalMammographyDay
Visit your doctor and set up a mammogram. Encourage loved ones in your life to also schedule a mammogram. Know your family history and share it with your physician. Some with high risk will need to have their first mammography sooner. Use #NationalMammographyDay to post on social media.

NATIONAL MAMMOGRAPHY DAY HISTORY
President Bill Clinton proclaimed this National Day in 1993.

I will have mine in January.
One time many years ago I had to go back to another mammogram and I was so scared. But, everything was normal.
My dear friend went had her mammogram 2 years ago about this time of the year and had to go back. She was going to put it off since the holidays were coming. Luckily she did NOT put it off and breast cancer was found. She had her breast and some lymph nodes removed. She is doing well now. Now she always tells people do not put the yearly mammogram off
