The Importance of Early Detection

You have heard about the importance of early detection, I'm sure, but how seriously do you take that? Are you due for a mammogram? Have you made monthly self-exams a routine part of your life? Most of us are in such a hurry all the time that's it's easy to postpone these things and say "I'll do that soon, but not right now." So many women that I know have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer that it has sounded an alarm in my life. I tell myself that I am not at high risk because I have no female relatives who've had it and I did breastfeed my three children for extended periods. But do I think that gives me a free pass not to have mammograms or do self-exams? Absolutely not!
Early detection can save your life and give you lots more options. Do it now.
