Women sometimes put off getting a mammogram because they’re afraid the doctor will find something. Most mammogram reports bring good news. Even if a lump is detected, eight out of 10 are NOT cancer. In the event of cancer, the survival rate approaches 100% for women whose tumors are detected and treated.
If you have any questions, call (309) 672-4640.
