It’s important to go for these scans especially because of the cancer you had.

My mom had cervical cancer and she was diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2023 after her mammogram. She had a mastectomy on October 23, 2023 and she’s cancer free now.

I am not trying to freak you out because the chance is still low even though you had cervical cancer. Just pointing out how important Mammograms really are 🩷.
