DOLAND — One out of every eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer; that could be you and me both. What can I do, how can I help? First, if you are a woman 40 years of age or older, talk to your doctor and schedule a mammogram.
They only take about 15 minutes and there is short term pain, but it is worth it. Almost all insurance plans, Medicare and Medicaid cover mammograms and the state of South Dakota also has a program called “All Women Count,” where you may be illegible for free/discounted screening.
Help save other women by spreading awareness, breast cancer can happen at any age. Finding breast cancer early —when it’s small and has not spread — gives you more treatment choices and can help save your life.
