Breast Cancer Awareness Month at BMH

Since 1985, October has been designated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month to bring forward the importance of monitoring breast health in women everywhere. Breast cancer effects one in eight women in the United States and is the second leading cause of cancer death in women. While breast cancer is not always treatable or preventable, if caught early enough the five year survival rate of breast cancer is almost 100%!

So, how do you detect breast cancer early enough to fight it? ANNUAL SCREENING MAMMOGRAMS! More importantly, the best preventable measure you can take to protect yourself and encourage your loved ones to protect themselves, is by receiving an annual 3D mammogram which can increase the possibility of early detection by 30-40% more than standard mammograms.

This October, Blue Mountain Hospital is doing everything we can to educate the public on the importance of receiving annual mammograms and encouraging women to opt for a hospital or clinic that offers 3D mammograms. If you are 40 or older or if you have a history of breast cancer, then please keep reading and call now to make your appointment at Blue Mountain Hospital this October.
