“You have to detect cancer early, the advantage of the checkup is that it is not a risky procedure, getting tested is fast and safe, I did it and I am calmer and happier knowing that I am healthy”. Melchora Guevara 53 years old, ALMA project participant
I found out about the ALMA project through a neighbor in my neighborhood, I work in the market and one day she showed me a brochure of the ALMA chatbot, I entered out of curiosity, and it turned out to be super easy and practical the questionnaire I did, I really liked that.
Several years ago I had a mammogram, at that time they took a long time to give me my order so I did not want to go back and do another one, and now they told me it was fast and with the necessary care in the middle of the pandemic, so I was encouraged and wanted to take the opportunity, also I did not imagine that my companion, the ACS, was so attentive, she wrote me, called, and was there to clarify any doubts or questions I had.
I knew very little about breast cancer, what they tell us all, it only affects women, but with the project I learned more about the subject, now I know that it can become more risky at some ages and that we have to check our breasts every so often, we should not neglect and go for attention if we think we have any breast lesion.
