CancerCare Manitoba’s mobile mammography screening clinic will be in Russell and Rossburn in the coming weeks. The clinic was in Roblin from October 16th to 22nd.
Health educator with the Cancer Care Manitoba Screening Program, Laryssa Sawchuk explains more about their stops around the Parkland.
“The mobile screening mammography clinic is for women aged 50 to 74 to come and have their breast cancer screening completed. It’s for women who don’t have signs or symptoms of breast cancer. It’s just a quick appointment and they can come to our clinic for about 10 to 20 minutes. We’ll ask them a few health questions and then perform the test.”
She stresses the importance for women to get regular screening to catch early signs of breast cancer.
The mobile clinic will be in Russell from October 26th to 29th, and in Rossburn from November 3rd to 5th.
