I had all the cancer screening tests done with Cancer Detection Programs: Every Woman Counts. I felt really good about myself, because I want to be a healthy person.

So I recommend the program to other women.

Just say to yourself, ‘You know what? I’m going to take care of myself…I’m going to be a healthy woman. By doing that I’m going to get regular checkups...”
