Thalia Gets Mammogram in Honor of National Mammogram Day

Mammography Saves Lives is an organization that is dedicated to helping women prevent breast cancer. According to the organization, mammography has helped reduce breast cancer mortality in the U.S. nearly 1/3 since 1990.

For every 1,000 women who have a screening mammogram:

  • 100 are recalled to get more mammography or ultrasound images
  • 20 are recommended for a needle biopsy
  • 5 are diagnosed with breast cancer

Hoy se celebra el #DiaNacionalDeLaMamografia y ayer yo me fui a hacer la mía???? ¡Es extremadamente importante que tú lo hagas! ¡Cuídate! ¡Revisate!¡Preocúpate por TU salud! ???????????? Today is #nationalmammographyday, and yesterday I got mine done! It is extremely important for you to do it too. Take care of yourself. Get checked! Make sure to take charge of YOUR health.

According to the American Cancer Society, Latinas are diagnosed with late-stage cancer at higher rates than non-Latinas. This means that one Latina dies of breast cancer every 90 minutes in the U.S.  It is advised to begin getting mammograms at the age of 40, especially since 1 in 6 breast cancers occur in women aged 40-49. Those that have a family history of breast cancer are encouraged to test earlier.

If you haven’t done so already, get tested. Call your doctor and set up an appointment or visit Mammography Saves Lives.
