Breast screening service to return

BREAST screening is returning to the Tablelands later this year and those who wish to take advantage of the service are encouraged to book one of the appointments available.

The mobile breast screening bus will be in Malanda from 26-29 November; in Atherton from 5-20 December; and, for the first time, will visit Millaa Millaa from 3-4 December.

Women aged between 50-74 years are urged to have a free mammogram every two years, as they are at the highest risk of developing breast cancer. Women over 40 are also able to attend the service.

Anyone wanting more information or to book can call 13 20 50 or visit www.breastscreen.qld.gov.au
