Assuming that everything is cool (and it should be), I'm going to treat the girls out to a fabulous lunch afterwards. Because I always do. Glad you got your mammogram. <br /><br />Don't want to be a downer, but I've heard of three women I know who were diagnosed with breast cancer in the last three months. Hope that motivates people to make the appointment. If that doesn't, then knowing that one of the woman was very lucky and the cancer was caught in early in state 1 should. She was told that she has a 98% chance of having a normal life span. Early detection makes a big difference.pissed in NYChttp://icantbelieveitsnotademocracy.blogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-25751676599742652062009-06-05T21:10:08.069-04:002009-06-05T21:10:08.069-04:00You said you "wondered if the good doctor cou...You said you "wondered if the good doctor could just finish me off while he was down there doing whatever he was doing with his hand."

European countries generally do mammograms on a 3-year cycle and their detection and cure rates are the same or better than ours. <br /><br />Of course, one reason they have better cure rates is that when someone is diagnosed with cancer in Sweden or France their friends and family don't have to run around holding bake sales and spaghetti suppers trying to come up with the money to pay for the treatments, but that's kind of a digression. <br /><br />You might also remind Mathman that most breast cancer is found through manual exam, not via x-rays, and encourage him [as if he needed encouragement] to help you with staying healthy. There's actually some debate in the medical journals over whether mammograms do much at all other than remind women not to ignore their boobs [and create a consistent cash flow for radiology depts of hospitals] but until they resolve the debate, I figure an occasional mammogram fails into the "better safe than sorry" category. <br /><br />The Centers for Disease Control does fund a program through various state agencies around the country to pay for mammograms for uninsured and low income women. If anyone knows anyone who's hesitating to get an exam due to financial problems, there's information at http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/cancercontacts/nbccedp/contacts.asp on local programs.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18359007443116549436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-23229516171525343952009-06-05T08:50:59.913-04:002009-06-05T08:50:59.913-04:00Ok, I've been getting mammograms for 9 years I...Ok, I've been getting mammograms for 9 years I think, and I've never had stickers............what's up with that?? <br />We have digital imagery too, and I asked to see mine...........amazing clarity,and all clear. <br />I take it very seriously, no breast cancer among the women in my family but my friends and SIL's have been hit very hard.........I'd like to keep the girls, saggy and unperky as they are til the end.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129662082248482002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-59791826266537182752009-06-05T08:50:16.267-04:002009-06-05T08:50:16.267-04:00I didn't get stickers last time either.
