    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.

    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.

    The women I know, including my wife, take the screenings seriously. I don't probe into how often they get them but do know they get them. They also say they get checked for skin cancer yearly or more often if have a history. Now, I can't say us men are as diligent on screenings for prostate or skin cancers. Most men I know say stuff like, "Oh I don't need that junk, I'm just fine". Is why God invented wives, to nag their butts to the doctors.

    My sister-in-law in her 30's was screened and they found breast cancer, did surgery but had to go back and get what they missed the first time, a common thing I hear. Now she's in the waiting period process of more screening. If she had waited until age 40 to be screened, well.....
