LinkVideo Description
Breast Cancer Breast cancer is the most common kind of cancer found in Manitoba women. You cannot control many of the things that put you at risk for breast cancer (increasing age, family history, breast density, starting your periods early, starting menopause late). This video talks about the things you can control:
  • eating a healthy diet
  • maintaining a healthy weight
  • being physically active
  • having regular mammograms once you turn 50, or when you and your health care provider decide you should start
In the video, you will see how a mammogram is done. You will also learn how finding breast cancer early could save your life.
