Two years ago, I went in for my "annual" mammogram. I put it this way because I had been rather lax up until then. They had been my "every five years" mammograms. I didn't give it much thought--just routine.
Of course, it turned out to be anything but routine. The mammogram saved my life. It detected my cancer while the lump was still too small for my doctor or me to feel.
Now, I have regular mammograms and urge every woman to do so. Don't wait. Don't put it off. Mammograms work!
