HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - New Proposed Changes to Mammogram Guidelines

Last February or March, soon after the new administration entered office, this suggestion to reduce the frequency of mammograms, and to raise the age threshold was floated. I recall seeing it disseminated via the sycophant media repeatedly over a period of approximately a month. At the time I wondered just how stupid the government thinks we are? I saw this coming months ago. It is a harbinger of what is to come under ObamaCare. God help us all.....

Do not have daughters.....
