Alex Rodriguez's girlfriend Jaclyn Cordeiro is very active on social media, sharing fitness and health tips through her account. Her latest post addressed a pressing need among women.
Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women. Early detection is one way to beat it. It occurs when cells in the breast grow out of control, often forming a lump or mass. Risk factors include age, genetics, lifestyle and hormonal factors, but may develop in individuals with no known risks.
On Wednesday, Cordeiro had her annual breast exam with Cancer Care Ontario in Canada. She posted a selfie immediately after the examination and advised her female followers to undergo regular examinations for early detection of the disease.

“Part of women's self-care includes breast screening,” she wrote.
The American Cancer Society recommends that women between the ages of 40 and 44 should have a mammogram annually, and women between the ages of 45 and 54 should have a mammogram every year. For women age 55 and older, a mammogram can be done every two years.
