The article is so illogical from top to bottom I can't even begin to go into it...

I can tell you that it reads as if Cancer is fine if it does not kill you.....immediately? The statistics are also inconclusive. I call bullshit.

It only applies to those with little to no risk factors.

Since when did anyone suggest one? Think clearly for a moment about erections and non-erections, Shawnee. Does age come into it at all, on reflection?

Perhaps the addition of a ha-ha smiley along with the "

" might have conveyed the sardonic tone you may have wanted.

I'm afraid this is just the beginning.

Well I'm so glad to know that I even though I'm 41 with an extensive family history of breast cancer, that I can STOP preparing for my yearly mammograms by slamming my breast in the door of the refrigerator and then pressing on it as I tell myself, "honey it will be over soon!!"

Ha! Everyone jumps on the wagon when you say tatas or tits...but talk about breast cancer and titmongers everywhere pussy right the fuck out.

Whatever it takes for awareness! You roxx, spexx! You, at least, have a pair (not tits, those other things.)

I didn't read the article, but heard about it on TV last night. The good thing is that the American Cancer Society is not agreeing with this study. From their site:

Quote:

The American Cancer Society continues to recommend annual screening using mammography and clinical breast examination for all women beginning at age 40. Our experts make this recommendation having reviewed virtually all the same data reviewed by the USPSTF, but also additional data that the USPSTF did not consider. When recommendations are based on judgments about the balance of risks and benefits, reasonable experts can look at the same data and reach different conclusions.

(link: http://www.cancer.org/docroot/MED/co...Guidelines.asp)

I think I'm gonna go with them.

Quote:

Task force vice-chairwoman Diana B. Petitti, MD, MPH, says the new recommendations do not mean average-risk women younger than 50 and older than 74 should never be screened.

Rather, they are meant to foster discussion between these women and their doctors about the risks vs. benefits of routine screening.

Yeah, I'll buy that... use your doctor and your brain, not some headline.

Quote:

Potential risks include anxiety, unnecessary biopsy, and unnecessary treatment of cancers that would never become life threatening.

vs suffering and death? Don't bother locking the door because Freddy Kruger might not be outside? Nay, fuck that... take care of yourself... take care if the tits.

"unnecessary treatment of cancers that would never become life threatening"

A little cancer never hurt right? Hey what doesn't kill me makes me stronger...Cancer is irrelevant unless it is fatal? oooh kay then.
