Really? Let me tell you my experience with mammograms. In 1985, the mammogram craze was in full swing. My doctor urged me to go in to have one. I hesitated but he assured me that it is just to insure I do not have anything to worry about. I had good health insurance so I went in and had the procedure. The result was this: you have a tiny mass the size of a match head that needs further investigation. I was skeptical so I took the film and interpretation to another specialist - a female doctor and asked her to review it. She agreed that I should have a biopsy. I reluctantly agreed (I was 41 years old). I went into the hospital, went through the procedure they required. When I came to in Surgical Recovery, the female doctor who recommended the procedure informed me that they missed the small mass and could go back in. I told her "over my dead body. where are my clothes. I am going home". I am now 80 years old - never had another mammogram and never will. Never had anything wrong either.
No way to calculate how many women have been duped into the mammogram scenario. Many have been given false positives, spent endless weeks worrying and finally getting a biopsy. Some have even been mis-diagnosed and suffered horrendous surgical removal of their breasts. We will never know actually. This is a scam - big time.
