October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Don’t Forget Your Mammogram

Each October, we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to education, prevention, and support for those affected by breast cancer. At Premier Surgical Cleveland, TN, we want to remind women in East Tennessee that one of the most important steps you can take for your health is scheduling your routine mammogram.

Why Mammograms Matter

Breast cancer is most treatable when detected early. Mammograms can identify breast cancer before symptoms appear, increasing the chances of successful treatment and recovery. For most women, annual screenings should begin at age 40, but your doctor may recommend starting earlier if you have a higher risk due to family history or genetic factors.

Skipping your mammogram may not seem like a big deal in the short term, but it could delay a diagnosis and limit treatment options. Making this screening part of your yearly routine is one of the most powerful ways to protect your health.

Our Role in Your Care

If your mammogram shows something concerning, it can be scary, but you don’t have to face it alone. At Premier Surgical Cleveland, our board-certified surgeons Dr. Eston Wenger, Dr. Jason Dunn, Dr. Joshua Worthington, and Dr. John Boxberger, provide compassionate, expert care for patients who may need breast surgery.

We understand that a breast cancer diagnosis affects not just your body, but your emotions, your family, and your future. That’s why we take a team approach to care. From diagnosis through treatment and recovery, we work closely with your other providers to ensure a comprehensive, personalized plan that puts your well-being first.
