Wonderful news..#manitobahealth has lowered the age of #breastcancerscreening #mammograms to 45. It was 50 previously.
I'm 47, turning 48 in 2026, and have already emailed for an appointment.
#breastcancer doesn't run in my family, but it doesn't have to. They are finding it in younger women with no previous history all the time.
I encourage you to get checked!#breasthealth #manitobanews #winnipeg #manitoba #womenshealth

#Women in their 80s who get regular #mammograms are more likely to have breast #cancer detected early, need less aggressive treatment and live longer.

Stitt-for-brains' loss today was a decided win for #Oklahoma:
"On the last day of the 2025 Legislative Session, lawmakers took up overrides on bills vetoed by Gov. Kevin Stitt, including measures pertaining to missing and murdered Indigenous people and expanding medical coverage for mammograms."

My younger sister died from a rare type of breast cancer -- and she was in her 40s. Despite my concerns about her symptoms, she decided to wait until her next mammogram -- and by then, the cancer had taken a deep foothold. It can happen to younger women -- unfortunately.
via @Poli_Tics
"Breast cancer increasing in younger women. 'Women under the age of 40, particularly Black women, tend to be diagnosed with more biologically aggressive and rare types of breast cancer, like triple-negative breast cancer and HER2-Positive, according to two other recent studies.' "

Fact Check: No, Switzerland hasn't banned mammograms.
Confusion is spreading online thanks to bizarre rumours about a supposed ban on mammograms in Switzerland.
Social media posts that have circulated for months falsely claim not only that Switzerland has banned breast cancer screenings, but that the procedures increase the risk of developing the disease.

The FDA has adopted a new rule similar to one passed in Texas over a decade ago. The new law will change what information doctors have to share with patients receiving mammograms.

“I want the men in the arena to bear w/me on this,” #MichelleObama said, “because there’s more at stake than just protecting a woman’s choice to give birth.” She described a #woman’s body as a “complicated business,” & spoke about abnormal #PapSmears, #mammograms, infections, & #miscarriages; about #menstrual problems & #menopause; & about inequities in funding for research into #WomensHealth.

#MAMMOGRAMS SAVE LIVES
i never felt a lumpfor mammos to be truly preventive, you have to wait for a year after the first one. the 1st one is your baseline, the 2nd is your 'real' first one.
my first one was in 2023. my 2nd in may of 2024 is what got the wheels going with more radiology & biopsies.
type A breast #cancer spreads fast & furiously. mine was caught just before it spread.
THAT'S BECAUSE MY MD PUSHED ME TO GET A MAMMO ASAP
40 is the new lowest age internationally, NOT in USA. 2🧵

Earlier #BreastCancer screening not advised, task force says - https://apple.news/A0ggOcdqWTw-bG0SOPhUMrg “Michelle Nadler, a medical oncologist with the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto who was an expert adviser to the task force, said that while #screening #mammograms are important, using them more often in younger age groups doesn’t necessarily equate to better patient outcomes.

«the panel determined that starting biennial mammograms at 40 instead of 50 would prevent an additional 1.3 breast #cancer deaths per 1,000 women over the course of their screening lifetimes. For Black women, starting a decade earlier would avert an additional 1.8 deaths per 1,000 women.»

Advocates in #Quebec say Twibanire's experience highlights a years-long problem for people in #wheelchairs when they try to access #mammograms.
A Quebec advocacy group, The Regroupement des activistes pour l'inclusion au Québec #RAPLIQ , recently contacted 94 clinics across the province that offer mammograms. The result, they said, was that 43 per cent advised they couldn't accommodate people who use wheelchairs.

Continue to invite women over the age of 71 for routine mammograms.

This year's #mammogram is officially done!
No, it's not fun. Yes, it can get painful.
But so much less painful than #BreastCancer.
I've helped two people get through breast cancer: my mom, who was in her mid-60s at the time...
...and my good friend M., who was in her mid-30s. She and I are the same age. Thankfully, M. is now 10 years in remission.
So, if you're in your 40s, GET YOUR #MAMMOGRAMS, Y'ALL. Just do it. It could save your life and prevent terrible grief for those who love you. ❤️

@me @sarasidner I'm scheduled for mine tomorrow! ✌️🖖🤘

Don’t forget to get your annual mammogram! Preventative health like #colonoscopies and #mammograms and #vaccines are some of the most important things you can do to keep yourself healthy in the new year! But can we work on making mammograms more comfortable?!
