"I'm so grateful that the cancer was caught early. Those screening exams are so important and actually saved my life. I encourage women to make time to get their mammograms like their lives depend on it; because in some cases, it does."


Amber S.

“I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 40 with what would have been my first annual screening exam. This was caught in the earliest stage possible with many of my findings being only pre-cancerous. Because of early detection, I did not have to have chemotherapy or radiation as part of my treatment plan.”

“Despite having minimal family history, I was diagnosed at 47. Renown provided exceptional care for both my double mastectomy and reconstruction. For me, knowing my body was the key, when I felt like something was not right, I followed up with my physician and made sure I was doing everything to minimize my risk.”

“My annual mammograms have detected 3 lumps in the last 10 years. Two were benign and one was cancer. My annual mammogram and then my ultrasound saved my life by detecting my cancer in its earlier stages.”
