Kay Netta Allen, 65, and her husband talked about going on a cruise for years. Aside from trips to Branson, Mo., and other road trips, the couple had never taken a “big trip.” The Allens, who have been married for 47 years, had spent nearly two years planning and saving when Kay Netta received a reminder for her annual mammogram. Realizing she had accidently skipped a year, she knew she needed to schedule her mammogram before leaving for the Alaskan cruise. The appointment was set for the month prior to their departure.
