The facility I work at can set women up with funding from the American Cancer Society or from places like Avon. The amount of ladies that get their mammograms have dropped due to financial problems and loss of health insurance. Do this for yourself. We take care of our kids and everyone else in our families, so don't delay. No one wants to find out but wouldn't you be better off finding out when you have choices on how to cure it???? So many women are scared because the think it is too painful. A bit of discomfort is worth it. Please do it for yourself and your family
