What actually happens at a screening mammogram, for anyone who’d like to know before they go.

First, which kind. A screening mammogram is for people with no symptoms, and from 40 you can book it yourself through BreastCheck. If something has changed, you need a diagnostic mammogram instead. Your provider orders it, and it takes more detailed pictures.

The morning of: skip deodorant, antiperspirant, body lotion and powder. They can show up on the image. Screening sites are scent-free too. Wear a two-piece outfit, because you only change from the waist up.

When you arrive, you’ll answer a few health questions and change into a gown. A medical radiation technologist takes two pictures of each breast. Each one means a few seconds of firm pressure between two plates. It can be uncomfortable. It’s quick, and the program confirms it’s safe.

If your breasts are tender before your period, book a different week if you can. If it hurts, say so. They can adjust.

The whole appointment takes 10 to 20 minutes. Results come by mail in about two weeks and show up in MySaskHealthRecord.

Book with BreastCheck at 1-855-584-8228. No referral needed from 40, if you have no breast symptoms and no implants.

Mammogram or ultrasound? We get asked this a lot, usually by someone hoping the answer is ultrasound.

Both are good tests. They just do different jobs.

A mammogram uses low-dose X-rays and is the screening test, meant for people who feel completely fine. It can also show tiny calcium spots that other tests can’t. An ultrasound uses sound waves and usually comes in as a follow-up, to take a closer look at a lump or at something seen on a mammogram.

What ultrasound can’t do is stand in for a screening mammogram. Saskatchewan’s BreastCheck program is clear about that.

40 or older, with no breast symptoms and no implants? Book a screening mammogram yourself at 1-855-584-8228, Monday to Friday. No referral needed.

Something has changed? Skip the screening line and book with a provider.

Breast cancer changes a lot of things. Long after treatment is finished, your skin is still carrying reminders of what you have been through.

This month we are thinking about those parts of healing too.

Sylfirm X is new in the building. We are not going to tell you what it will do for you from a caption, because that depends entirely on you and we would be guessing.

What we will say is this. If scarring is on your mind, it would be our privilege to help. Book a free consultation to learn more.

And one more thing. We are covering one treatment this month for a breast cancer survivor.

To nominate yourself or someone you love, email [email protected] by the end of October. Send us their name and their phone number, and press send. That is genuinely the whole thing.

One nominee will be chosen at random and contacted in early November. Any questions, call (306) 634-6789.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this year there’s real news for breast screening in Saskatchewan. Forty is eligible.

Since July 1, 2026, women in Saskatchewan can book a screening mammogram through BreastCheck from age 40. The province estimates that’s approximately 76,000 more women who can now book.

The part that might cause some confusion: reminder letters only go to ages 50 to 74. Nobody is going to write to you under that age. You need to call them.

BreastCheck is for women 40 and older with no breast symptoms, no implants, no breast cancer in the last five years, and not in follow-up for it. It’s covered by provincial health insurance with an active Saskatchewan health card, and you don’t need a referral.

📞 1-855-584-8228, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Booking is by phone only.

The closest mobile unit this fall is at Weyburn Hospital, November 2 to December 18. Dates can change, so confirm when you call.

In your 40s and want to talk it through first? That’s exactly what the program suggests. Book with your own provider, or a walk-in clinic if you don’t have one.

Got symptoms, or implants? Book with a provider. BreastCheck isn’t the right route for either.

Go back for seconds. We won’t tell.

Confidentiality is literally our job, and we take it very seriously. That includes the pie.

From all of us at Kindred, happy Thanksgiving. We’re grateful for every patient, client and neighbour in Estevan and Weyburn who trusted us this year.

Both clinics are closed Monday, October 12th, so the staff can go back for seconds too. We’re back Tuesday.

Love, your Kindred family 🦃🥧

Meet Heather!
With 25 years of experience, Heather brings a wealth of knowledge to Kindred, from a broad background in nursing to teaching future frontline nurses at the University of Saskatchewan.
Having recently completed her Additional Authorized Practice (AAP), Heather has been part of the Kindred team for about 15 months, working in both clinical nursing and aesthetics.
Outside of Kindred, you’ll find Heather camping with friends, enjoying a glass of w**e and sharing a good laugh. She’s definitely our social one! 😉
We’re so happy to have Heather on the Kindred team. Come say hi!

Sara has a passion for skincare and loves helping people feel good in their skin. Her experience includes advanced facials, microdermabrasion, HydraFacial’s and chemical peels, with a genuine interest in understanding what each person’s skin needs.

After taking some time away from the industry to focus on family, Sara is back, and we’re pretty happy to have her.

She was drawn to Kindred because of the people, the environment and the opportunity to keep learning and growing. We think she fits right in.

When she’s not talking skincare, Sara loves spending time with family and friends, and her cats, who apparently deserve their own mention. 🐈

We’re excited to have Sara on the Kindred Aesthetics team. Come say hi.

You are about to let somebody get very close to your face.

It seems fair to know who they are first.

Over the next few weeks, we will introduce the team. Nurse practitioners, registered nurses, aestheticians and laser technicians. What they trained in, what they are unreasonably good at, and the one thing each of them will talk your ear off about given the slightest encouragement.

Meet the women behind your plan at Kindred Aesthetics!
