National Mammography Day - Remind a friend to have a Mammogram

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Today is National Mammography Day.
Remind a friend to have a Mammogram. Pass it Along.

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast used to look for early signs of breast cancer. Regular mammograms are the best tests doctors have to find breast cancer early. When breast cancer is found early, many women go on to live long and healthy lives.

Women should have mammograms every two years from age 50 to 74 years, and more often if breast cancer runs in the family or you have any symptoms or changes in your breasts.
