No mammogram thank you, I just ate.
After reading the CBC article on the new task force on mammograms not being recommended until 40, and after reading so many books on breast cancer for my project a few years ago, I can agree that the trouble of worrying is not worth the preventative effort of possible early detection.
However, I do not like the short statement about them also NOT recommending the breast self-exam. What? If women did the self-exam more often and taught how to do it properly, they would be more familiar with their body and how it changes depending on where they are in their cycles and be less afraid after the first “lump” experience. Be aware, ignorance is not bliss. Don’t even get me started on the new legislation that lets Parents pull their children out of sexual education classes at school. Hmm.
