A Story Of Black Belts, Mammograms And The Good Fight

University Medical Center of El Paso, Public Affairs Office Season 1 Episode 9

According to national statistics, more than 250,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, this year alone. 

These El Paso women decided to have their mammogram accomplished. 

Some of them had it done when they were 40 -- while others had it done a little later; but what they all have in common is that they now have peace of mind -- that  their first mammogram is behind them . 


Starla Warren is another El Paso woman who put off getting her mammogram. 

She’s a third-degree black belt -- but she’s in for the fight of her life. She has stage four cancer and it is throughout  her body.
