Mammography Saves Lives

I am so excited to share the launch of a fabulous
national campaign that will save women's lives:
Mammography Saves Lives. Last
year, the USPSTF came out with guidelines that
were not backed by major cancer organizations
and confused women (see this link for more information).
Sadly, women's lives will be lost unnecessarily,
if they do not get annual screenings starting at
age 40. Hopefully, this campaign will reverse the damage done and
encourage women to get their mammograms!
Go to www.mammographysaveslives.org to hear the stories, see the public service announcements, and to sign up for annual reminders. If you are a cancer survivor, share your story as well! The PSA's will be seen over the next few months on television stations across the country.
It was a blessing to meet the women who shared their stories. I helped to find two of the women in the PSA, Lidia and Robin, who are here in North Carolina. I fell in love with them and their incredible spirits (including Sunny from DC)! We had a wonderful time the night before at my house, where they also filmed us having dinner and discussing our stories (not uploaded on the website, yet).
Please consider sharing this website with those that you love and schedule YOUR appointment, today.
Stay tuned for the release of my book this fall, "101 Things You Should Know About Breast Cancer" .
