3 reasons to book your mammogram

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Mission Health’s Hope Women’s Cancer Center shares three reasons to get your mammogram:

1. Breast cancer is common. ~One in eight women will be diagnosed — that’s why routine mammograms are so important.
2. Catch it early. 99% of patients survive at least five years after diagnosis if unnoticeable symptoms like small lumps are caught early.
3. Potentially avoid chemotherapy. Earlier-stage patients have less-invasive treatment options.
