Then I am really glad I live in Canada. Have a wonderful Doctor that has actually saved my life twice through mammos. Always insisted on full physical once a year with pap smears blood tests and mammo. Used to detest it but got to say this last year when they found the cancerous lymph node through mammo and it was HER2 would not have wanted to wait longer to find out about it!
