Like most women, Erin Stover was less than thrilled about the idea of getting her annual mammogram. She did it anyway, though - and it may have saved her life.

Now, in addition to being a breast cancer survivor, she's also a breast cancer advocate, helping educate others about the life-saving value of regular health screenings.

In this episode of “Northshore Healthbeat,” hosts Mike Scott and Bridget Lobello sit down with Erin to learn her story. Also joining them is Dr. Christopher Porter, MD, a surgical oncologist with St. Tammany Health System's High Risk Breast Disease Clinic, to discuss the finer points of breast health.
