Many breast lumps are too small to feel with a self-exam, but a mammogram can catch them early. The earlier breast cancer is detected, the more treatment options are available. Don’t wait—early screening could improve your outcomes!

Last year, the Ontario Government lowered the age of self-referral to mammograms to 40 years old. Women between the ages of 40 and 74 can now self-refer for publicly funded mammograms through the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP).

By lowering the eligibility age of self-referral for publicly funded mammograms through the OBSP from 50 to 40, more than 305,000 people can connect to important screening services to detect and treat breast cancer sooner!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💗
Make that appointment — get your b***s checked! It’s really not that scary👻

Early detection saves lives. A simple mammogram can catch breast cancer early, when it’s easiest to treat.

Ages 50–74: Every 2 years (no referral needed through the Ontario Breast Screening Program).
Ages 40–49 or high risk: Talk to your doctor or OBSP site about earlier or annual screening.

Don’t wait. Call today, bring a friend, and make it a yearly habit. Your future self will thank you.🩷
