Root Sports anchor/reporter, Angie Mentink is somewhat relieved after recent mammogram, but still had room to complain…
@AngieMentink
While I am a little bit peeved it says my boobs are not dense— is there a perky category—I am relieved that today’s mammogram is normal— have you gotten yours? If not please do #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #6yearsTomorrow

I know she had breast cancer and is a cancer survivor. She has always been very athletic so it hit her out of the blue. I commend her for making more people aware of the insidious disease.
Men CAN get breast cancer —
Early Signs and Symptoms
Because having a mammogram performed on a male is so rare, it is important to check for these early signs and symptoms as opposed to relying on a mammogram, especially if any of the risk factors above apply to you. The silver lining here is that males have much less breast tissue than females do, which may make it easier to notice lumps in the chest or other irregularities. Contact your doctor immediately if you notice any of the following signs:
A lump felt in breast
Nipple pain, inverted nipple or nipple discharge
Sores on the nipple or areola
Enlarged lymph nodes under the arm
We salute you, Angie!
