Show Notes

In this weeks episode of Community Conversations, we are excited to be joined by Marita Aldridge of Breast Screen SA! We discuss the significance of routine breast checks, breast cancer in young people, self-exams, biennial screenings and more. Marita details the common symptoms like lumps and skin changes, the screening process and addresses common anxieties surrounding screenings.

We delve into the importance of younger women getting screened, with early detection through screening yielding better outcomes. This episode of the podcast delves into the critical reasons behind the lack of participation in screening, including mammogram discomfort, anxiety surrounding screening and cultural barriers. Marita provides industry insight into these issues and the solutions Breast Screen SA has implemented to combat these problems and provide a more comfortable experience for all individual needs.
