In this episode, Mary is joined by Sarah Ham, a mammography supervisor, medical radiography technologist, and yoga teacher with over two decades of experience in women's breast health.

Originally from the Comox Valley, Sarah moved to Burnaby after high school to attend BCIT for the medical radiography technology program and graduated in 1999. She then gained extensive experience working at Burnaby Hospital, Brooke Radiology, and Mount St. Joseph Hospital, where she received her mammography training. After working in the lower mainland for two years, she returned to the Comox Valley in 2001.

Sarah shares her extensive knowledge and personal insights to demystify the process of mammograms and breast imaging. The conversation covers the significance of early screening, the different modalities available, and addresses common fears and misconceptions surrounding mammograms.

Additionally, Sarah opens up about her personal experiences with loss and healing, and how yoga has played a pivotal role in her life.

Listeners are encouraged to take proactive steps in their healthcare by getting informed and overcoming fear through education and self-advocacy.
