Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a frightening and all to common cancer. There is
no good way to prevent breast cancer so the next best thing is to diagnose
it as early as possible. A mammogram is the best screening test to find
breast cancer. A regular mammogram is recommended for all women 40 years
and older. The physicians at ARFP can help you get your mammogram. Getting
into a habit of performing a regular, once a month, self breast exam will
alert you to any changes that you should talk to the doctor about. Also be
sure to have your doctor perform a yearly clinical breast exam.
The
Susan G Komen Foundation has a great deal of information and is working to end breast cancer.
The
American Cancer Society has a very detailed web site about breast
cancer.
