Scheduling an annual mammography exam is one of the most important steps you can take in preventing breast cancer, or detecting other potentially dangerous tumors. A mammogram, as it's called, is a noninvasive x-ray test used in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women. An annual test is recommended for women age forty and older. However, if there's a family history of breast cancer it is not uncommon to begin screening at an earlier age. According to http://www.radiologyinfo.org/, mammography plays a central part in early detection of breast cancers because it can show changes in the breast up to two years before a patient or physician can feel them. Sounds like a great reason to keep health insurance in my opinion! You should also educate yourselves on how to correctly perform monthly breast self-exams if you are in your teens or early twenties.
So what does all this have to do with beauty, you ask? Well since most of us are optimistic in hoping for a cure, it's crucial that we take every opportunity to support breast cancer research. Below, I've listed a few retailers who make significant contributions toward the cause, with your help. You may be wondering why you should purchase products when you can simply call up Susan G. Komen for the Cure to make a donation. I guess the question is, how likely are you to pull out your credit card and make that call? It doesn't matter because there are so many ways to make a difference! Here are a couple of links, and fun products you can buy to help in the fight.
