Yes, such a great cause!馃檪 Women ages 40 to 44 should have the choice to start annual breast cancer screening with mammograms (x-rays of the breast) if they wish to do so. Women age 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year. Women 55 and older should switch to mammograms every 2 years, or can continue yearly screening. It's important to know! 猸愶笍 I have a friend that neglected herself and got breast cancer, her breast had to be removed but at least she did live. 馃檹馃徏馃挆馃巻

@Peaches Great advice! i also think that self-examination regularly is really important too. I found my wife's when she was 31 so way before she would have got screening. Most women do survive if it's found early 馃挋
