Unless the treatment isn't worse than the condition, most screenings are of little use, in my eyes. They look at and treat the body without consideration for the life the treatment affects.

There are two women I know who had mammograms and their doctors immediately put them on meds that made their hair fall out,, after doing lumpectomies. Why didn't these doctors just remove the internal breast tissue and replace it with silicone implants? that way, you don't need the chemo, your hair is intact, and your body still looks pretty close to the way it did before the whole treatment began.

I see my doctor this Tuesday and plan on talking with him about treatments BEFORE I submit to a mammogram.
