I think I am angry. NO. I know I am angry. A woman I knew who had been suffering from an aggressive form of breast cancer passed away a few weeks ago. She was young, in her forties. Such a waste. She had three boys, the youngest a sophomore in high school.

She is just one reason why I have chosen to walk for the Avon 2-day Walk in Boston.

Although I am pissed about her needless death, I am also angry and frustrated with the news about revised recommendations for screening mammography. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) announced late last year that not only should screening mammography be postponed for women at average risk until they turn fifty, but that physicians and other healthcare providers should not promote patients perform self-examination. . . . for more go to http://www.hauscow.com/
