Hi Christine - Thanks for your thoughtful and thought-provoking post about the controversy that's developed over mammography guidelines.
Like many issues, this one has several sides. The immediate impact of just the announcement of the guidelines was massive cancellations of scheduled mammograms across the country. Some health professionals saw this as an indicator that those who feared the exams had found an excuse to avoid it and were using it.
We'll be haring a lot more on this topic in the days and weeks ahead. It's good to have the conversations going - thanks for joining in.
