Studies are showing that not all breast cancer survivors are taking the proper post cancer health precautions that doctors recommend. Of every 100,000 women in the United States, there are currently 815 who are breast cancer survivors. Health professionals are emphasizing the importance of the check up mammogram, following recovery from breast cancer to ensure that the cancer has not metastasized and is still remaining in remission.
Dr. Jeanne S. Mandelblatt of the Comprehensive Cancer Center in Washington D.C. recently pioneered an extensive study of breast cancer survivors to determine their post cancer health care habits. For the study, 558 women were asked to keep a diary of their health care for one year following their recovery from cancer. Of these women, 391 produced the diary, revealing that on average women received healthcare approximately 30 times the year following the breast cancer. The most costly expenses found in the diary were medical visits, which comprised a large percentage of the average $1,800 spent on health care.
