Re: New Proposed Changes to Mammogram Guidelines
This is #@#!!####!
I know that we aren't supposed to talk about politics here, but to me this is pretty clear cut on the things that the present administration is trying to do to us.
Cleveland Clinic and MD Anderson both told me to make damn sure that my daughter starts yearly mammograms @ age 20 because when a father has MBC that throws up a huge flag for daughters.
I believe that you'll start seeing them say that stage IV patients are terminal so why waste so much money much on them.
Good God I pray that I'm wrong but I think this is just the beginning.
I'm sorry and forgive me, but this has made me freaking mad as hell
