Buddy Check 4 - Breast Cancer Awareness

Almost everyone knows someone who's had to battle breast cancer. The disease has touched my own family.  Thank goodness, through early detection they were able to battle the disease and survive.

If you want to do something extra special for the women you love, help them to join the Buddy Check 4 program.  On the 4th of every month, we ask women to do a monthly breast self-exam and then call their "buddy" to remind her to do the same.  Our hope is that breast cancer is discovered in its early stages, when it is most treatable.  Until there is a cure, there is Buddy Check 4 – our program designed to honor the importance of all women throughout the year.

Together we can make a difference - one "buddy" at a time.

Digital mammography represents state-of-the-art technology. The Digital Mammogram is much like the traditional screening mammograms in positioning, compression and the use of x-rays.

 

The benefits of digital mammography are manipulation of the image and exposure problems are less common. Overall, digital mammograms are generally shorter exams.

 

Benefits of Digital Mammography

·        Reduces Patient Wait Time In Half

·        Accurate Exam Read

·        More Accurate Exam in Women with Dense Breasts

 

In addition to the digital mammogram, Lovelace Women’s Hospital is the only hospital in New Mexico to use the Breast Pad. The Breast Pad is a special pad used to make the mammogram a more comfortable process.
