In 1993 President Bill Clinton proclaimed the 3rd Friday of each October as National Mammography Day. This year, October 16th is a day for women to make get a mammogram, and spread the word on free mammograms available to others.
Breast cancer, aside from skin cancer, is the most common cancer that affects women.
According to the American Cancer Society an estimated 192,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer was expected to be diagnosed among women in 2008. They also estimate that another 40,000 women will die from breast cancer in 2009.
Those numbers are alarming, especially since if detected early enough through self/clinical exams and mammography, most types of breast cancer can be treated.
Please schedule your mammogram today, if you have not already done so, and make sure you receive one on a regular basis if you are over the age of 40, have a family history of breast cancer, or have a prior history of radiation treatment.
If you under the age of 40 please remember to perform monthly self breast exams and visit your health care professional at least every 3 years for a clinical breast exam.
Free mammograms are available on National Mammography Day...call our office to find out where in our local Freehold area.
