Upon turning 40, Nicole Olinger went to the Breast Health Center in Silvis for her first mammogram, as ordered by her doctor. She shared that she has lost friends due to breast cancer, and felt responsible to attend her timely screening. Following her first mammogram and a biopsy, the tests revealed a ductal carcinoma in situ; a bundle of cells in the milk duct. This is an early form of breast cancer. She was treated, and decided to have a double mastectomy. Nicole is now a breast cancer survivor.
Olinger wants women to pay attention to their breast health. Nicole encourages women to perform regular self-examinations on their breasts, and to get mammogram's starting from age 40.
