This is a very balanced explination that presents both sides. I am still concerned that very little emphasis is being placed on the fact that 85% of women diagnoised with breast cancer have NO FAMILY history and therefore are considered LOW risk. When I was told I had HER2 breast cancer with no family history, my oncologist down at Mayo Clinic told me that one good thing was that I had not passed the breast cancer gene to my daughter or granddaughter. Based on my own experiences and the fact that the US has lower deaths from BC than other countries that do not begin mammograms until age 50, I still maintain that this recommendation is faulty. I am looking forward to the senate investigation proposed by the senator from Alaska into this panel and its recommendations.
