Have you had your mammogram yet this year? Have you done your breast self-exam this month?
We often talk about breast self-exams and mammograms in the breast health programs we do in schools, workplaces, and community events. And for good reason! Both exams are part of the 3-pronged approach to early detection. They catch breast cancer early, in its most treatable stages.
We all lead busy lives, though, and sometimes it’s hard to remember to do a monthly breast self-exam and an annual mammogram. So, The Maurer Foundation has developed a custom breast health reminder service. We are super excited to offer this new program to the community because it gets us all closer to our important mission of saving lives. Please take the time today to sign up for a reminder and send a link to your mother, sister, daughter, girlfriend, and any other woman in your life. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime and breast self-exams and mammograms truly make a difference in the outcome of this terrible disease.
To sign up for a reminder, simply visit our Alarm Clock page. Enter your email address, and the dates you would like to be reminded to schedule your mammogram and do your breast self‑exam. We’ll email you the day before and even send you valuable information on how to do a breast self-exam or what to expect during your mammogram.
Please help us stop breast cancer before it starts.
