The mobile mammogram breast check unit will be in town next month, setting up at the Beatrice Wilson Health center from August 9th to the 11th.
It’s noted that 1 in 8 woman in North America will receive a positive breast cancer diagnosis within their life time.
Signs of breast cancer can often include lumps or thickening, often without pain, changes in appearance and size, dimpling redness or pitting of the skin.
Those who are experiencing abnormal changes should seek medical care.
Most breast lumps are not cancerous, but when they are treatment is most successful when caught early.
