All I know is that a mammogram my wife had after our last son in April showed a very small lump in a milk duct. A biopsy later showed a malignancy that we quickly treated with surgery to remove her breast. She had reconstructive surgery and is cancer free. Early detection saved her much pain from radiation and chemotherapy.

That mammogram saved my 42 year old wife and mother to my five children. Get your mammogram. It is painless and paid for by insurance.

This is more propaganda to limit the cost of health care to those countries with government funded health care. Dead people don’t need health care and subsequently give a large chunk of their estate to the government.

You’re saying that they started this study 25 years ago to create propaganda for 0bamaCare?

My mother died because she had a normal mammogram. Her doctor told her she could stop worrying about the lump in her breast because the test was normal.

We know that the mammogram helps some and does some harm to others. What we should be doing is figuring out how to identify the two groups.

What I know is that the efficacy of mammograms was never in question ... until we were faced with ObeyMeCare. About a year before it was finally signed we started hearing, oh, nobody really needs one yearly.... oh, 40 year olds should just wait til they’re 50 for a baseline.... oh, maybe insurance companies should drop coverage for annual screens...

All ju$t coinkydink, I’m $ure.

“That mammogram saved my 42 year old wife and mother to my five children. Get your mammogram. It is painless and paid for by insurance.”

whoa. Skippy, whatever mammography is —it is FAR from “painless.” I want you to strip naked. Now, put your “member” on a flat surface. Next, take a large book and put it over your “member.” Next lean on that book as hard as you can for a few minutes, then get back to us how “painless” that is.
