Re: US Preventative Task Force

I just laugh at the idea of a preventative "task force" recommending decreased vigilance. I guess they don't like the task. Cancer in younger patients is kind of a problem. I haev talked to a support group organmizer who says it can be hard to get timely diagnostics because docs think their age precludes them and they chalk everythig up to something else. I've heard stories of young patients having to push very hard to get their cancer diagnosed a long time after suspecting it...sometimes at an advanced stage.
