Don't skip your mammogram! The Breast Center recommends that women have annual mammograms starting at age 40. This past year, many women postponed mammograms due to COVID-19. However, you should not delay your medical care. Delaying cancer screenings delays cancer detection. The longer a cancer goes undetected, the more difficult it is to treat. Cancer is most treatable when it is found early. The five-year survival rate for breast cancer that is found early is 99%. Mammograms save lives, don't wait to schedule your screening.

No one deserves to live with any version of themselves they hate. Let us help you heal and uncover the best YOU!

Ovarian cancer doesn't discriminate based on age or race; it can happen to any female. There is NO PREVENTATIVE SCREENING TEST! A Pap Test does not detect ovarian cancer. Over 22,500 new cases of ovarian cancer will be diagnosed in the US this year. Knowing the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer can help our mothers, daughters, wives, and sisters fight this disease early, when treatment is more effective. Early detection and proper treatment are the best defenses against ovarian cancer. We must pay attention to our bodies, know the symptoms and be our own advocates. Listen carefully, it whispers.
