So now we find out that mammograms and early screening make no difference in the diagnosis and survival of women with breast cancer. I could have told you that. I firmly believe you're either going to get it, or you're not. I think it's primarily genetic.
Before I suffered through one last year, I hadn't had a mammogram for 25 years, but knew I didn't have breast cancer. The other thing that helps is nursing your children for many months -- although when I offered that theory to my doctor, she said....."if you're going to get it, you're going to get it. Nursing doesn't help".
So there you have it. Another example of a women's health issue that gets inconsistent and unreliable attention. Now, if we were talking about prostate cancer..............!
