Do you know what that is?
Do you know Tyra Cusick?
Have you ever had an episode on it?
No.
You're going to love this.
So I always say...
For women listening to this podcast, if you know your first name, your last name, and your date of birth, you need to know your lifetime risk of breast cancer.
It's mandatory.
Yes.
Have you heard of that?
Good.
So why is it so important?
I'm sure you know of someone in their 30s who end up with stage four breast cancer or advanced stage breast cancer and they die way before they get to their mammogram age, right?
So the first message I want to say on this podcast is that the message of mammograms should start at 40 is misleading and it needs to stop.
Mammograms start at 40 for very low-risk patients.
An average American has a 12.5% chance of getting breast cancer.
Yes.
So pick your finger, go to a party in a room with 100 women, 12.5 of them, just average, will get breast cancer.
That's incredible, right?
That's a huge number.
