 Breast Cancer
 
Getting Mammogram  

I have had a mastectomy, but the cancer has been in remission for 2 years. Should I get a mammogram on the other breast ?

Absolutely, you are at higher risk for your remaining breast, so it is very important that you continue to diligently check your breast each month and get an annual mammograms. Equally important is maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Diet, exercise, nurturing relationships, and a balanced approach to life’s ups and downs can go along way to protecting your body from reoccurrence.
