And I’m starting to take that joint off. As much as I want to be frank about what’s going on with the sisters, the recent comments (calling them “recommendations” make me livid) regarding breast cancer screenings and mammograms sent me to another place.
The newer comments stated that women need not obtain mammograms until 50 years of age, mammograms need only be performed every other year, and NO self-examination. If men were dying of breast cancer at such an alarming rate, I maintain there would have been no such task force to debunk male health care. Not only do they debunk mammograms, but also state that women need not perform self-exams.
There have been several woman who are close friends who have been diagnosed with cancer, two of whom have passed away. All of the women have been below the age of 50. My aunt, who passed away from cancer at the age of 48, died in less than 8 months when her cancer returned.
Meanwhile, prostate cancer can be wiped out damn near at half-time. Additionally, where men can get their “dude health” checked out during a regular physical, women must pay a premium rate to visit a specialist for their reproductive health.
Sisters, we need to use these damn capes for more than wiping noses.
