PRESENTER & MEDIA PERSONALITY DEBORAH HUTTON

“The confidence I feel after having a mammogram is fantastic, I’ve got someone watching over me; I know I am looking after myself and therefore I am looking after everybody else.”

WHAT TO EXPECT?

Mammograms are performed by radiographers in a private room. When you arrive, the radiographer will explain the process. Usually two pictures are taken of each breast. The appointment usually takes less than 30 minutes.

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO SCREEN?

The earlier breast cancer is detected, the higher the chance of beating it. Early detection means less invasive, more effective treatment. A free mammogram every two years is the best way to detect breast cancer early.

WHO IS MOST AT RISK?

The risk of breast cancer increases with age. If you're over 50, your risk increases significantly. Ninety per cent of women diagnosed have no family history. Watch as Deborah Hutton has a mammogram at BreastScreen Australia on nowtolove.com.au/breastscreen
