Re: The Risks of Cancer Screening With More Cancer Screening and Earlier Testing, Ov

'lizbeth,

Thanks for posting this important article.

I was subjected to overtreatment for possible cervical cancer in situ 15 years prior to my bc dx (by a screening mammogram). It was as a result of that experience that I became more skeptical of accepting the standard, one-size-fits-all treatment protocol, did my own research, and made my own treatment decisions.

As a result of both experiences, I am passing on routine colonoscopy altogether.
