Book Your Yearly Mammogram Before the New Year

The holiday season is a busy time, and with so much going on, it’s easy to let important tasks slip through the cracks. This year, make your health a priority by booking your yearly mammogram before the New Year. Not only will you have more flexibility with appointment times, but you’ll also gain peace of mind heading into the new year.

Mammograms are a critical tool in the early detection of breast cancer, significantly increasing survival rates. Many forms of breast cancer don’t show physical symptoms or can’t be felt until they are more advanced. A yearly mammogram ensures that even the smallest changes are detected early, giving you the best chance for successful treatment.

For most women, annual mammograms begin at age 40. However, if you have a higher risk of breast cancer—such as carrying the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutation—it’s essential to consult with your doctor to determine the right screening schedule for you.

Additionally, if you experience any symptoms of breast cancer, such as lumps, changes in skin texture, nipple discharge, or persistent breast pain, schedule a mammogram or breast exam with your doctor right away.

A mammogram takes just a few minutes but could add years to your life. Early detection saves lives, and taking this simple step now can help you stay ahead of potential health concerns.
