Christie: Schedule Your Mammogram

RE: NIC president Priscilla Bell diagnosed with breast cancer/Maureen Dolan, CdA Press

Christie Wood: When she called me two weeks ago to break the news the first thing she said was “Do you get your yearly mammograms?” I thought it was a very odd question but I still said “yes”. Then she told me her diagonosis which of course is devastating news. Later I thought about our conversation, and realized I got busy and skipped my appointment this year. In her honor I would like to encourage all of the women reading this to call your doctor today and make your appointment. I am dialing now.

Question: I know this is an old story. But I want to ask the question for the Women of HBO. Do you get your yearly mammograms?
