"Scoops Of Flesh" aka...time for the mammogram!


"Scoops of Flesh" is the term that came to mind today when I had my annual mammogram. Anyone who has had a mammogram will know what I mean. I hope everyone takes the time to get this very important test done. It is very easy to forget. And depending upon which doctor you go to, it is either after 35 or after 40 that this test becomes an annual staple. And then depending upon breast cancer history, you may be put into different rooms and categories when getting the test done. Regardless, just get it done. It doesn't matter if you have any breast cancer history or not, you can still get breast cancer. And early detection is always the best.

If you live in or around the Denver area, I highly recommend The Women's Imaging Center. They have 3 locations: Denver, Lakewood and Littleton and their Central scheduling # is 303-321-2273.
