Life is busy. Which is why Sherri Wiseman doesn’t have time to take nearly three hours out of her day to drive to her appointment, get a mammogram, and drive home. But while she was busy living life, cancer cells were busy spreading in her breast tissue. Luckily, she was able to access a mobile mammography unit in her small town, where the team caught her cancer early enough to treat. Mobile mammography units are available for many rural areas Intermountain Health serves. The technology is the same quality as the tech in a hospital, the staff is trained, and it doesn’t take a huge chunk out of your day.

This year, I added a Breast Oncologist to my care team. Last September, my annual mammogram produced results that caused a secondary screening, a biopsy, and a consultation with a breast oncologist whom is also a surgeon. A single papilloma has a low occurrence of turning into breast cancer without other developments coming into play, but I didn't want to take that chance so I had it removed last month. I'm here to remind you of the importance of self-care and proactive health management. Ladies and gentlemen too, while self-breast exams are crucial, they might not always detect every anomaly. Conditions like intraductal papilloma—a small, tumor in the breast ducts—may go unnoticed in a routine exam. Ladies, regular mammograms are essential. These screenings can catch what our hands might miss, offering peace of mind and early detection. Prioritize your health, schedule your annual mammogram, and encourage the women in your life to do the same. Men, if you find something in yourself or your partner, say something. Early detection saves lives! #BreastCancerAwareness #WomensHealth #MensHealth #EarlyDetection

Breast imaging emerges as a crucial tool in the fight against breast cancer, especially for women aged 40 and over. Highlighting urgent statistics, it underscores the life-saving potential of annual mammograms, which can reduce mortality by 40%. This stresses the importance of early detection, noting that 75% of affected women lack family history or risk factors. With mammography reducing deaths by a third since 1990 and ensuring nearly 100% five-year survival rates when detected early, the message is clear: timely mammography is indispensable for women's health. #mammogram #Oklahoma #Infographic Know more: https://lnkd.in/d5NMmhzr

?? Embracing the Power of Early Detection: The Mammogram Journey ?? Curious about mammograms? Writer Kristina Kasparian shares her insights and experiences to help ease your concerns. Mammograms are essential for detecting breast cancer early, offering more treatment options and lowering the risk of mortality. For those with a family history, like Kristina, early screenings are particularly crucial. The guidelines for mammogram screenings have recently changed, suggesting screenings every other year starting at age 40. However, individual circumstances may vary, so it's essential to discuss the best approach with your doctor. Despite potential drawbacks, such as false-positive results, the benefits of early detection often outweigh the risks. Support from friends and family can be invaluable during this process, providing encouragement and emotional support. Wondering what a mammogram feels like? It's a quick procedure, but you may experience some discomfort. Remember, communication with your technician is key to ensuring your comfort throughout the process. After the mammogram, a radiologist will analyze the results. If further tests are needed, don't panic—early detection is still our greatest ally. Feeling anxious? Kristina recommends taking someone with you, asking questions, and being gentle with yourself. Remember, prioritizing your health is always worth it in the end. ?? #Mammogram #BreastCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection https://wb.md/3xnAVs2
