If you have not heard talk of mammography controversy last week, you've probably been living under a rock. November 16, 2009, I saw in horror as Brian Williams, anchor of NBC new nightly, polled m. Susan Love, the more important from an expert on the breast.M. Love, a surgeon of breast, clinical UCLA professor and founder of the Foundation Dr. Susan Love made echo to preventive American workgroup the new directives of mammography, saying that raising the age of 50 for women to start getting mammograms "" would bring us standards world. ""She said, "(new) guidelines are in line with what everyone in the world is doing now - where they have government run programs from screening."

Think about this déclaration.américains have always been said that we have the best health care in the world. do you want really your mammography "online" instructions with countries that have socialized - Government run medicine - as Canada (they come to the U.s. for the proper and timely health care), Britain and France? You want a program such as Cuba's health care?

M. Love said that women over 50 years have breasts more dense than women under 50 and denser than harder to read, which means that certain tumours are completely missed mammograms breasts.I agree, mammograms may not be the best tool to find cancer of the breast, but for these women, less than 50 who find their tumors with a mammography, they are all.

M. Love also admitted that the raising of the age mammograms women get could be rationing, "but it is rationing like better and saving money to find something that works.". What are the chances that it will be a "Silver" or record it will go to the search for "something?" that worksWords "Government" and "saved money" is not exactly go together. this week, two respected oncologists, a radiologist and a representative of the American Cancer Society has told me new mammography guidelines are US Government so ready for fewer services, if the Obama health policy is transmitted.

In addition, Government group says doctors should stop teaching women to do self breast examinations.It is frightening.I know too many women including me, who find their breast cancer while doing a self-examination.

I am indignant guidelines of the preventive US workgroup.Troubleshooting Group that they prevent is early diagnosis.Naturally, mammograms are not perfect detection, but until develop us something better, get your mammograms tool; talk to your doctor and listen to your "small voice" registered .Mine my vie.Même if you have doubts about the new guidelines, take things in person to your breasts. regular self-examens.Sans one breast self-exam, I would be dead, now.
