A Parma woman is hoping she can help move the needle in getting a potentially life-saving breast cancer screening covered.

For Lory Arthur, cancer is a familiar foe, and she said if she can help keep even one person from having to go through it—it's mission accomplished.

"I've lived a healthy lifestyle, that's important too, and includes getting your regular checkups, mammograms." Arthur said she then reached out to U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown’s office. She said she got online on her phone and sent off a message through a portal on his website."I was ecstatic," she said upon the response."I was ecstatic."As Sen. Brown always says, the best ideas don’t come from Washington -- they come from Ohioans who voice their concerns and engage their lawmakers. Sen. Brown’s office thanks Mrs. Arthur for bringing this issue to our attention.

UH shared its results to contribute to the larger body of data on fast breast MRI that perhaps could lead to coverage.
