mammogram

“This is tough for me, but if just ONE woman decides to get her mammogram after watching this, what I’m going through will be worth it,” she said.

The trial tested different scanning methods on women with very dense breasts who had been given a mammogram and told they did not have cancer.

X-rays called mammograms are offered to women between the age of 50 and 71 every three years to check for signs of cancer, but can currently only be performed by female staff.

Though genetic screening and a recent mammogram had come back clear for her, she took an online exam called the Tyrer-Cuzick risk assessment test.

Just as we have timelines for things like mammograms and colonoscopies, I would love to see timelines for menopause training where at age 35, we start explaining symptoms to women.
