Why Mammogram's Are So Important!!

I am 45 and a "new Breast Cancer Survivor". I was diagnosed just over 8 weeks ago because I had a cyst and the mammogram found a "suspicious area" that after a biopsy was a small Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma. Like my sister at age 40 had. My mom and aunt are also survivors. Because it was detected early I will not need chemo/radiation or long term medication. I cannot preach enough about earl detection and that it does save lives and helps woman possibly not need some of the treatments that are so hard on your body, to treat breast cancer. I am currently home recovering from double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. I thank god every day that I went in to have it checked and the mammogram found my cancer.
