It is so very important that women have mammograms and do self-exams...You have to take the time to put yourself first and do what's important for you, your family and your body.

Lynne Ness sought out the Community Howard Women's Center for her annual mammogram after learning about the advanced imaging capabilities of the center's 3D mammography. Lynne's mammogram revealed a small abnormality and she was soon diagnosed with an invasive form of breast cancer.

With 3D mammography, each breast is scanned to produce multiple pictures, which are then stacked on each other. The radiologist can "scroll" through the images to find subtle differences that might indicate abnormalities. 

Today, Lynne is using her story as a breast cancer survivor to tell other women about the power of 3D mammography and the importance of making time for annual screenings.

To make an appointment at Community Howard Women's Center for a mammogram or other breast diagnostic testing, call 765-776-5800.
