Mammogram - Free at DSH funded by MBPJ

The American Cancer Society recommends that a woman after the age of 40 should receive a yearly mammogram which can detect 85 to 90% of all breast cancers even before you feel a lump.

MBPJ is sponsoring free mammogram for PJ female residents of  age 40 - 69 years. You may get this mammogram done at the SS20 Damansara Specialist Hospital. 

Just walk in to the X-ray department and fill up a form. It is suggested you go in the afternoon as the morning session is always busy.

The average cost of a mammogram is around RM180 at a private hospital.  So enjoy this benefit funded by MBPJ. 

Tropicana City Mall goes pink

PETALING JAYA: THE adage, "prevention is better than cure", serves as inspiration for the aptly-designated Pink Week period which goes on until Oct 31 at Tropicana City Mall.

This campaign is being held in collaboration with Makna (The National Cancer Council of Malaysia).

Rallying to the call to raise awareness on cancer prevention, with a particular emphasis on breast cancer, the mall will host an exhibition themed My Pledge Against Cancer.

Visitors to the exhibition, open from 10am to 10pm, for the entire duration of Pink Week are also invited to participate in the numerous counseling sessions, demos and talks -- all revolving around breast cancer.   Read more ........
