I've put it off for two years..my GYN has encouraged me for the past two years to get my baseline..and I've put it off...and put it off..and put if off...until I saw Giuliana Rancic on the Today show the other morning and she was telling about how her breast cancer was found on a mammogram she didn't even think she needed (story here)...which is crazy because I give chemo to breast cancer patients all the time and see how bad it can be...but for some reason, her story put my butt in motion and I called and made an appointment for today...I admit I have this mindset of "it's not going to happen to me"..but really? It could!
I've decided I'm going to treat it just as important as my annual PAP exams..we see so much "female organ" cancers where I work...and some survive and some die...damn those female organs!
So, I encourage YOU to go get your mammogram too if you are around that mid to late 30's age if your insurance pays for it ... :)
And that's my public service announcement for the month....
So very important my girl friend just finished going through her chemo and radiation for breast cancer they found on a mamo last year.
And since I had colon cancer 5 years ago at 42 I am a big fan of the colonoscopy too LOL!
