Program: Our program today was Muscatine Radiology - Breast Cancer Awareness, by Jessica Wittman, Angie VerBeke and Tricia Bedenbender. Jessica has been at Muscatine Radiology for 11 years, Angie 26 years and Tricia for 14 years. It is suggested that you start having an annual screening mammogram at age 40. Screenings are for people with no problems. A Diagnostic is for someone that has new abnormalities or follow up. 3D Mammography detects 41% more invasive breast cancers and can detect up to 15 months faster. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. 75% of cases do not have an immediate family history of breast cancer. Angie, Tricia and Jess shared the process of a mammogram. Stages of cancer - 1 - calcification, 2 - large in size, 3 - has spread to lymph nodes, 4 - has spread to other organs like liver or lungs, etc. For more information please visit their website at www.muscatineradiology.com Thank you Jess, Angie and Tricia.
Reminders: Our October 19 meeting will be a fellowship meeting. Our October 26 will be Dr. Ellen Bluth from Iowa Workforce.
Have a great week!
