Shannon Markegard, DO, a VMC Family Medicine physician, 她的家人是否经历过乳腺癌晚期诊断的心痛，以及早期发现的胜利.

“我的建议受到个人经历的影响:我的母亲在38岁时死于乳腺癌，我有很多30多岁和40多岁的乳腺癌患者，他们都战胜了这种疾病. 我想尽早发现这种癌症，这样女性就有更大的生存机会.

"Along with most healthcare providers, 我将继续建议从40岁开始每年进行一次乳房x光检查. Mammograms, along with clinical and self-exams of the breast, are all vital in detecting breast cancer early. 出于这个原因，我推荐我的病人和我自己去VMC的乳房中心. 我对他们的数字乳房x光检查设备、技术人员和放射科专家充满信心.”
