    Yes "breast cancer fund raising" has become big business and it is very profitable for a many. If the funds are going for pre screening and or actually given back in some way to help actual women, I'm good with that. But "research" is subsidizing big pharma.......

    How much will they make if they find a cure vs treatment long term...........


    Raising awareness is good and necessary, but there is a dark side too............


    A lot of folks are too emotionally involved to actually discuss the problem rationally.......

    In the beginning, the ONLY rationale for suggesting that the screening mammogram be made “annual” was this:

    “We’ve got women coming-in for annual exams & Pap smears, let’s just do a mammogram evey year then, too.”

    There was ZERO scientific basis or other more valid reason.

    Then, there is the major differences b/t “screening” & diagnostic mammograms which needs to be understood.

    The entire issue causes massive unnecessary anxiety in healthy Women.

    hill co.
    This thread is stupid.


    “Some women don’t get mammograms. The answer must be that other women get too many”

    What kind of backwoods inbred hillbilly logic is that? Sounds like some women just don’t take the issue as serious as others.


    And the awareness programs are bad too apparently, even though some women apparently aren’t getting mammograms often enough.


    Tardation abounds.
