Women with spinal cord injuries or paralysis are just as likely to
develop breast cancer and they should have access to the same
preventative testing and care.
Women over the age of 40 should get an annual mammography done as part of their wellness routine. Women under 40 can have a breast exam done by their doctor during annual exam or physical.

check out Breast Health Access for Women with Disabilities.
In our Paralysis Resource Center we have over
100 downloadable information sheets including, under "W," one on Women with Disabilities.

About gerthro
Lived all my life in and around the Philadelphia area. Went to Temple University, taught television production at Plymouth Whitemarsh high school. In the meantime, I've had lots of jobs in television and multimedia. I left my position as the managing editor of MensHealth.com to come to the Reeve Foundation as the manager of online communications in 2007.
