"I'll get to it next year."

It's something many of us say when it comes to preventive healthcare. But when it comes to cancer screenings, waiting can mean missing an opportunity to catch disease early.

That's why Dr. Meghan B**r recently joined WTHR-TV to discuss the importance of routine screenings, breast health awareness and knowing your personal risk. Her message was simple: the sooner cancer is detected, the more options patients often have for treatment and recovery.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to prioritize your breast health and stay up to date on recommended screenings.
