Awareness of one’s own health is just as important as knowing how and where to take care of it. In Yavapai County, on average 20 women die from breast cancer each year. The above resources provide the necessary information for the recommended frequency of mammograms, frequently asked questions, and what to do if your doctor identifies anything through an exam. Don’t wait, the chance of remission is greatest when breast cancer is caught early!
