late but early detection

I'm so grateful,thankful and blessed to write this story. About 2 years ago my sister was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. she was 63. I at the time I was 59. Had not had a mammo in 15 years. So I went as support with her to her doctor/surgeon. As he talked to her he turned and asked me when was the last time I had a mammo. I did not want to admit it but told him. He then made me promise to get one. So a few weeks later I went in and got one. Yes I had breast cancer too. Caught it early !!! Stage 1. My sister and I went through treatment almost together. Here we both are 2 years later yay!
My point is early detection !!! Now I would get a mammo every 2 months if they told me.
