Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I'm sure everyone knows this by now, because there are advertisements on TV and definitely in magazines! I know that their goal, in part, is to raise money for research. Which is wonderful, if you have the funds to donate. But in these difficult financial times, that may not be feasible for most.
What I would like to let everyone know is that a lot of radiology clinics offer special discounts for mammograms in the month of October. We had a rep from one of the radiology clinics stop by the office the other day. He wanted to let us know that for the month of October, the charge of a mammogram is $65.00.
I cannot stress enough that EARLY DETECTION is the key! It will save your life. It can also mean the difference between just taking a pill once a day for five years vs taking a pill once a day for five years plus chemo and possibly RT, and possibly other drugs as well.
So, think about it.......and then go get your mammogram (if you haven't already).
