Get your breasts checked and protect yourself against breast cancer. Put your health centre stage by getting a free breast screen every two years from age 50. Regular breast screens are the best way to find breast cancer early and when treatment is most likely to be successful.
MDAS are coordinating bookings at BreastScreen Sunraysia/Mildura on 14th-15th October. Your free breast screen will be done in a culturally safe environment with a female radiographer and will only take 10 minutes.
For more information contact MDAS Mildura on (03) 5018 4100.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women will receive a FREE beautiful shawl (below) to use during the screening that they can keep afterwards.
