Early detection is the best way to win this battle, so if you do not have your yearly appointment scheduled please call on Monday. If you do not have a ride to the imaging center I will make sure you get there.
To gracie, Helene and VillagesFlorida, Blessings on you all for being survivors. My maternal grandmother and one of my aunts on my mother's side both lost the fight against breast cancer many years ago. Mammograms are so important. I will be getting my annual mammogram next month. And thank you, VillagesFlorida, for being willing to arrange transportation for Villagers needing rides to an imaging center.
