BreastScreen Queensland mobile service will be at Kenilworth Showgrounds from 28 February to 2 March providing free breast cancer screening for women 40 years and over.
BreastScreen Queensland Health promotion officer Gillian Duffy said, “You don’t need a doctor’s referral for a breast screen and your appointment takes less than 30 minutes.”
Women aged 50 – 74 are encouraged to have a breast screen every two years, as studies show that this age group benefits the most from regular screening. Finding breast cancer early can increase treatment options and save lives.
“We are taking bookings now for our Kenilworth visit,” Ms Duffy said.
“So call us today and don’t miss the bus.”
BreastScreen Queensland also has permanent services at Nambour Hospital, Goodchap St, Noosaville and Goldfields Plaza, Gympie.
