Mamograms never did anything but make tons of money for the cancer industry. They cause more spread of cancer than they prevent.

Similar situation for prostate too. average life expectancy doing nothing after discovering the tumor is 30 years; but with standard treatment it is about 15 years maximum. (often far less)

Sorry but I don’t buy that for a minute. I know people who have been saved by early mammograms. I also know people who have caught prostrate cancer early and are still alive many years later. I am myself currently getting screenings every 6 months because I had cancer on my appendix a few years ago. I didn’t have to have chemo thank God, only two surgeries. I have often worried some about the screenings , but what else to do? They want to catch it early if it comes back. I do believe that people have to make their own decisions about these things, but soon, thanks to Obama and his commies, we won’t have that right.
