The BreastScreen NSW Hunter New England mobile screening unit is currently at Raymond Terrace in the Terrace Central Shopping Centre on Sturgeon Street, until the beginning of June.
According to the service, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women in Australia with one in eight women in NSW developing the type of cancer in their lifetime and nine out of 10 of those women do not have a known family history of it.
Early detection improves treatment outcomes and survival. While women 40 or over are eligible, women 50 or over are particularly encouraged to attend as risk increases with age.
Appointments are free and only take 20 minutes.
