A second bout of cancer won’t keep Judith Lidgus down

Breast cancer awareness includes getting annual mammograms. “What’s 20 minutes out of your life?”

Judith Lidgus of Brookings is fighting her second bout of cancer, which was caught early – thanks to regular checkups. “I would say to people, ‘Don’t be afraid, please go and get your mammogram because then you can cross it off your list. What’s 20 minutes out of your life once a year to know?’ My cancer was detected, it was treated, and I’m on the way to recovery. I intend to live at least another 20 years.”
