BreastScreen WA's free screening mammogram service is coming to King Eddies from 28 September to 16 October.
Women 40 years and over with no symptoms are eligible for a free screening mammogram.
Breast cancer is the most common life threatening cancer for women and 1 in 7 women in Australia will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.
Having a screening mammogram (breast x-ray) every two years significantly increases the chance of a woman surviving breast cancer and reduces the amount of treatment required. More than 75 per cent of breast cancers occur in women over the age of 50.
Dates may be subject to change. If visit dates are not suitable participants are welcome to book at the clinic in a different town or at any of the BreastScreen permanent clinics. To make your free screening mammogram appointment, book online (external site) or call 13 20 50.
