FYI – Women who live on Staten Island can receive free mammograms at Staten Island Hospital through the Healthy Breast Program. They also have the vans that go around giving free mammograms in a safe private envirnoment. (I would imagine other states have something like this as well though I don’t know first hand so I can’t say positively.)

Starting monthly self checks early – like your early twenties – is still advised by ob-gyns on top of yearly appointments later on.

About 1,990 men in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008. Having known a man close to me who just had a bilateral masectomy because of male breast lumps, it’s very scary and very real to me.

Studies show that early detection, when followed by appropriate treatment, saves lives and increases treatment options. The five-year survival rate for breast cancer is 98 percent among individuals whose cancer has not spread beyond the breast at the time of diagnosis.

At this time, breast cancer cannot be prevented, which is why regular mammograms are so important; they can find breast cancers early, when they are easier to treat.
BUT, I’ve seen interviews with doctors where they say, and sound convincing, that we will see a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime. Think Pink!!

Both of my grandmothers had breast cancer, and I want to make sure eveything possible is done so that my daughter will not ever have to worry about having breast cancer. We all need to pitch in to make a difference! Early detection saves lives – don’t forget your self-exam.
