October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Join millions of women who get mammograms on a regular basis. More and more women are getting mammograms to dected breast cancer in its earliest stages. As a result, breast cancer deaths are on the decline.
In recognition of the fact that mammography is the best available method of detecting breast changes that may be cancer, long before physical symptoms can be seen or felt, and that breast cancer deaths could decline further if all women age 40 and older receive mammograms at regular intervals, we the Education and Technology Instutute, urge all women and their families living in Westmoreland County to get the facts about mamography.
