FACT: 96% of women who find and treat breast cancer early will be cancer-free after five years!
FACT: Only 2 to 4 mammograms of every 1,000 lead to a diagnosis of cancer. About 10% of women who have a mammogram will require more tests, and the majority need only an additional mammogram. So don't worry if it happens to you. Only 8 to 10% of those women requiring an additional mammogram will require a biopsy, and 80% of the biopsies will not be cancer. (American Cancer Society)
