Manitobas mobile breast screening clinic will be in Flin Flon from July 22nd to August 8th at the Primary Health Care Center. Their Health Educator Larissa Sawchuk says this screening is important because breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and in Manitoba about 900 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 200 women will die from this disease every year so it’s important to get checked early and know if you’re at high risk. She adds screening is just a process where you’ll go into their mobile vehicle for an x-ray with a female technologist in a private room.
