Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women in Australia.

One in eight women in NSW will develop breast cancer in their lifetime and nine out of 10 of those women do not have a known family history of breast cancer.

However, help is available.

Until November 16 the BreastScreen NSW mobile breast cancer screening bus will be parked at Club Taree, 121 Wingham Road, Taree.

But, ookings are filling fast so don’t miss your opportunity to get a free breast screen locally.

BreastScreen NSW provides a high quality service for the early detection of breast cancer.

Early detection improves treatment outcomes and survival.

While women 40 or over are eligible, women 50 or over are particularly encouraged to attend because breast cancer risk increases with age.

Women should have regular screening mammograms every two years – once is not enough.

Having a mammogram isn’t difficult and early detection is vital.
