Deciding to Get Screened: Mammogram and Self Screening
By Allison Rosebrough

I believe I can reduce my risk of breast cancer by deciding to get a mammogram.

I decide to get a mammogram once a year after age 40 because that is when my risk increases.

I decide to give myself a self-given breast exam because they are painless!

I decide to go see my doctor if I feel anything unfamiliar during my self-given breast exam.

I decide to walk in Race for the Cure because Susan G. Komen educates women on breast-screenings and mammograms.

I decide to talk to my family and friends about going to get a mammogram together.

I decide to talk to my sorority on the importance of self-given breast exams.

I believe that I can reduce my risk of breast cancer because my Mom had it, so I decide to get a mammogram after I turn 30.

Summary Slide
I decide to get screened.
How about you?
Have you decided too?
