PINK RIBBON DAY

Pink Ribbon Day is Monday, 26 October. I encourage all women to book for regular
mammograms. I had my first mammogram on Monday morning at the breast-screening
facility at Gheringhap Street, Geelong. It took 10 minutes. The staff were
courteous and professional and made it all so easy for me. Today’s mammogram
experiences do not reflect the painful stories of old. There is a slight, short
discomfort at worst. It is totally painless, and it is a small price to pay for
the early detection of breast cancer. Given that we are streaming online, I urge
all women to seek further information on breast cancer and to call the cancer
helpline today on 131120 to book a mammogram.
