Do you know of any free mammograms in San Antonio area? I'm 28 years old with 2 kids and a husband and I felt a different spot on my breasts and I don't have insurance. Can you help?
Thanks Roni

Hi Roni-
I am so very glad you left a note for me on my blog. I have contacted some breast cancer screening resources and it appears that you have several low cost or free options.
In San Antonio:
3. Information about Getting Screened: To find out if you qualify for a free or low-cost mammogram and Pap test and where to get screened in Texas, call: 1 (512) 458-7796
Program Information: CDC funding for a capacity-building program for breast and cervical cancer early detection began in 1991.
Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program* - Texas Department of State Health Services
Preventive and Primary Care Unit

For support:
The Susan B. Koman Foundation is always available to talk to you and answer and questions you may have: 1-877 GO KOMEN (1-877-465-6636) www.komen.org
The National Cancer Institute is also a FANTASTIC resource for you to find out about free or low cost screening/treatment options for all cancer and cancer screening: www.cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER. They also have a live chat available through the computer from 9:00am – 11:00pm EST. They are great and a HUGE help!
I will send additional information to you as I collect it. While I live in Galveston, please let me know if there is anything else I might be able to do to support you. I know the number one thing that most people who have undergone screening and sometimes treatment say is to try to stay as positive and optimistic as possible. Give those kiddos a big hug and let them know there are lots of people out there that care about them, you and your entire family!
Take care Roni!
