October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Statistics show that breast cancer will affect one in every eight women in the U-S. That fact makes this the perfect time to schedule your annual screening. Dr. Erica Wrubel is a physician at the Spectrum Health Cancer Center and she joined us to share some breast cancer basics:
When women should get their first mammogram
How often after that
The importance of self-exams and a woman knowing her normal
