102122 Today is National Mammography Day…

Today is National Mammography Day…

An important day for individuals and families everywhere because annual mammograms

are key to early detection.

According to the National Cancer Institute, when breast cancer is detected

early and is in the localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.  

Mammograms matter.  

Early detection methods also include breast self-awareness and getting regular clinical

breast exams.

If you haven’t scheduled your annual mammogram yet, today is the perfect day to do so. 

It is also a day for listening and learning. 

We are honored to share a powerful blog post from our founder, Janelle Hail.

Janelle is a 42-year breast cancer survivor. In her blog, she shares what she’s 

learned after 42 mammograms, as well as her hope and commitment to “shine a bright light” 

on the darkness of cancer.

“My regiment of annual mammograms has continued forty-two years, along with taking

care of myself. I thought, If only I had one day without thinking of breast cancer a 

thousand times, I would be so happy.”

After reading about her real-life experiences, I hope you feel inspired to take charge of

your breast health today!

After you schedule your mammogram, take the Mammo Pledge to add your voice to

the count! 

Already scheduled? Add yourself now!

Warmly,

Cinthia Gonzalez
