Mammogram Not Just for October D Dennison

Here's what I do... the first of every new year I get a mammogram. Come H-E-double L or high water. I remember it because its like changing the calendars, bed sheets (just kidding, I do that multiple times a month) and so on.
Have you had your mammogram in the last year? In the last 12 months? Let's get checking!
