Keeping up with screenings is so important! Now is the time to get screened if you've put it off during the pandemic. Recently I had my mammogram in this van. It took less than 15 minutes. They pick up the step stool at the door after I departed and headed out to the next stop of the day.
A little PSA: Since the COVID vaccine causes an immune response (as it should!) that can make the lymph nodes beneath the arm appear as an irregularity on a mammogram, it is wise to time your vaccine and mammograms that you don't wind up with undue concern over a change on your mammogram. I've seen where the advice is to wait between a few weeks to 3 months after having the vaccine before having a mammogram. I'd suggest consulting with your PCP about how to proceed. Since I'm at increased risk for breast cancer, I opted to have my mammogram first. Since then I've had both Pfizer vaccinations.
