And it said doctors should stop teaching women to examine their breasts on a regular basis.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot??!?

How does this hurt to do a self-examination? It's almost like they want women to neglect exams and die of a cancer that is highly treatable. But, what do I know; I'm just a racist.

While many women do not think a screening test can be harmful, medical experts say the risks are real. They include unnecessary tests, like biopsies that can create extreme anxiety. And mammograms can find cancers that are better off not found. Some cancers grow so slowly that they never would be noticed in a woman’s lifetime. When they are found, women end up being treated unnecessarily.

Researchers worry the new report will be interpreted as a political effort by the Obama administration to save money on health care costs.

Ya think?

“..... examine their breasts on a regular basis.”

I’ve been doing to examinations for decades and I’m not going to stop..... even though my wife says she doesn’t need them anymore.

Sorry, I can’t help myself. ;>)
