Today is National Mammography Day!

Here are 3 reasons why your annual mammogram matters:
• 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.
• Regular mammograms can lower the risk of dying from breast cancer by 30-40% for women ages 40-70.
• Mammograms can detect breast cancer up to two years before a lump can be felt.
*American Cancer Society.

Early detection can save your life, and it starts with staying on schedule.

Today is Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day (BRA Day)! 💗

For many women, breast reconstruction is an important part of the healing journey after breast cancer. It’s about more than surgery, it’s about choice, empowerment, and restoring confidence.

At Breastlink, we believe every woman should have access to information about her options and the support to make the decision that feels right for her. Informed decisions create confidence, and confidence is a powerful part of healing.

Today is Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day.

Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body. While it remains treatable, it is not currently curable.

We honor the strength, resilience, and courage of those living with MBC, and we remember those we have lost. We are committed to providing compassionate care, advanced treatment options, and ongoing support for every patient and family navigating this journey.

To those living with metastatic breast cancer: you are not alone, and your story matters. 💗

BI-RADS 2 on your mammogram report? Here’s what it means 👇

BI-RADS 2- Benign
No sign of cancer, but the radiologist chooses to describe a finding that is not cancer, such as benign calcifications, masses, or lymph nodes in the breast. This can also be used to describe changes from a prior procedure (such as a biopsy) in the breast. This ensures that others who look at the mammogram in the future will not misinterpret the benign finding as suspicious.
