In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain the importance of getting an annual mammogram. If you have a family history of breast cancer please get a mammogram every year. About 75% of breast cancer deaths are from women who didn’t get an annual exam. Mammograms typically catch breast cancer in its most curable stage. We know a lot of women don’t get these done because they are afraid of what they might find or false positives or because they don’t have health insurance. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
