1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the mornings. You know what I

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: did the other day went to the shops. Actually I

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: did go to the shops and while I was there,

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: it's as simple as this, I had a mammogram. I

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: went to breast screen New South Wales. They have a

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: number of clinics all over the place, one of which

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: was just at the shops and it was the right place.

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm hoping. So this is the thing. I'm over fifty

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: and between the ages of fifty and seventy four, a

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: mammogram is the best way to be screened for breast cancer.

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: And I was shocked to hear this that nine out

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: of ten women with breast cancer have no family history.

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: So a lot of people think, like I did, I'm

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: in the clear. I don't have a family history, I

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: don't smoke, et cetera, et cetera. Every woman over fifty

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: and it's free, between fifty and seventy four should be

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: going and getting a breast screen. It is so straightforward

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: and so easy. And what they tell you there, what

19
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: statistics show is that every woman in that region knows, yes,

20
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: I should go and get a breast screen. But there's

21
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: a disconnect between thinking to do it and actually doing it.

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: And one of the big things, and I'm guilty of

23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: this too, is thinking I'm too busy. I'll put it off.

24
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: I'll put it off. And yet when you think about

25
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: what you're busy doing and the things that you love doing,

26
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: they're the things that will be taken away from you

27
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: if you get breast cancer. I have a friend she's

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: now fine, but when she was going through breast cancer treatment,

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: she had a vision board and on it and it

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: makes me wee bit of think about it. On it

31
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: was a picture of her boys playing rugby. We just

32
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: stand together on the sidelines with our sons playing. And

33
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: that's what kept her going, was the idea that I

34
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: will get well enough to stand and watch them again play.

35
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: So that's the stuff that you think, I'm too busy,

36
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: I've got to drive my kids here and there. That's

37
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,639
Speaker 1: the stuff that ironically stops you having this. It takes

38
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, that's it. Twenty minutes, and it's not uncomfortable.

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: It's you know, you put your breast and there's always

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: a very nice assistant that you don't just go and

41
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: do it yourself. You put your breast on a machine

42
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: takes a number of photos and you're out. Takes twenty

43
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: minutes and if you get breast cancer early, so much

44
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: better chance of survival of less invasive treatments of chemo

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: all that. So detection is the key and the mammogram

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: detection is the key. If you have symptoms, go to

47
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: your doctor. That's not you don't go straight to breast

48
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: screen your South Wales. This is to screen, just generic

49
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: screening if you're between fifteen sym before. It is free

50
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: and as I said, it takes twenty minutes. And often

51
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: what they say is get your girlfriends and every two

52
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: years just make put a thing in your diary, have lunch,

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: do all of that, go and get your breast strength.

54
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: It's just think that such a simple thing could seriously

55
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: save your life. Is we're lucky we live in a

56
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: community where you can do this stuff easily, right And

57
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: you're okay, yeah, yeah, I had my screen. Two weeks

58
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: later I find out that all is well, why wouldn't

59
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: you do it? Why wouldn't you do it? If I

60
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: urge you to do it? As I said, it's free

61
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. You can do it at the shops. It's

62
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: easy and you just book in. How do your book

63
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: in you're just booking, you go online. Breastcream your South Wales? Great, yeah,

64
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,680
