Breast cancer deaths in America have been declining for more than a decade. Much of that success is due to early detection and better treatments for women. I strongly encourage women to get a mammogram.
My mom she's a breast cancer survivor and because of that I had started getting mammograms once a year starting at age 30.
Mammograms are really sort of a gift. You can either catch something early or count your lucky stars because nothing was discovered. Either way you're ahead of the game.
I wasn't prepared to get a mammogram until I was 40 years old like I'd been told. I never in my wildest dreams expected anything to be wrong.
