Frances is an advocate for yearly mammograms. She had promised her mother that when she turned 40, she would get her mammogram yearly, and this was a promise she kept. In 2017, when Frances was 60, her mammogram came back abnormal. After a series of tests, Frances learned she had stage 2B triple-positive breast cancer. Frances remembers the promise she made to her mother and encourages others to always get their mammograms. “Our bodies have a lot to do with our health and we neglect the warning signs sometimes,” she said. “But getting your mammogram is so important.” For more on her story read here: https://bit.ly/40FIvek
