Who to see for breast cancer screening?

33-year-old woman2 years ago

I would like to be tested for breast cancer (ultrasound or mammogram). I have a family history of breast cancer and I would like to be tested since I have been experiencing pain in my breast for some time.

Hello ma'am!

The first step will be to see a family doctor (yours, or walk-in), so that he.she can assess your condition. If deemed necessary, further screening or testing will be ordered.

Hopefully, this has been helpful to you, and please do not hesitate if you have any further questions!
