Haven't heard that name in a long time. How's she?
I'm all right. Just got off the phone with Rosie Emerson. Remember her?
Hey
, s
is.
How
’ve
you been?
Oh
no…
Will she
be ok
ay
?
Not good — just found out she has breast cancer. She noticed a lump in her breast. Got it checked out, and sure enough — cancer.
I had one
five
years ago and got the all
-
clear.
It reminded me that I haven’t
had a mammogram in a
long
time.
Too early to tell
.
She’d
been meaning to get a mammogram for years but
kept putting it off. Poor thing.
I don’t feel any lumps or anything.
My doctor told me
at
our age,
we’re
supposed to get
one
every
two
year
s
.
J
ust scheduled
mine
. Maybe you do the same.
Sure, I'll think about it, but money's tight. I'm not sure I can afford a mammogram.
You don’t want to wait until you feel something.
T
he earlier
it’s detected,
the more effectively they can treat it. Will you think about it?
Are you eating?
What you really can't afford is cancer. Your insurance has to cover a mammogram at no cost to you. Medicare offers coverage, too.
Ha! Yes, picking at some pie.
Ok fine. Don’t be dramatic. I’ll
make
an appointment today.
C’mon, you don’t want to end up like Rosie.
Do
this for me. I need my sister
around
.
Thank you.
Don't wait.
Early detection saves lives.
Make your appointment today.
Doctors recommend a mammogram every two years for people ages 50-74.
