The day before leaving for vacation, I had my annual mammogram. It was an early morning appointment; I was in and out in no time. No call-back. No ultra-sound follow-up. It was easy-peasy, actually! When I came home from vacation, there was a letter in the mail saying the images were fine; no evidence of breast cancer.
Today, I am thankful for the “all clear” results of my mammogram.
What about you? Are you taking care of your health?
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality publishes a guide to the various health check-ups we should have at different stages of life.

You’ll be thankful you did. Your family and friends will be thankful, too.
