I think we've probably all been touched by breast cancer in some way, through a friend, colleague or family member.  In my case my beautiful aunt, Jude, survived breast cancer - so it's often in the back of my mind.  But how many of us have actually had breast screening?  I know I haven't.

Did you know that nearly half of women 50-70 years of age don’t get the free mammogram their entitled to; while many younger women who are worried about getting breast cancer and are too young to qualify for routine mammogram screening.  So I was interested to learn from sphinxx friend Joanne Firth from Safe Breast Imaging that there is a new safe and comfortable option for women of all ages to have a regular breast check to monitor their breast health. Without radiation, because it's not an xray.

MEM electrical impedance breast screening maps the electrical properties of the breast, providing useful information on lumps, structure and early clues of possible future risk.  So it may help with early detection of possible cancer warning signs, and is certainly a welcome addition to the existing suite of detection options.
