Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 03:16 PMThanks PJ. I agree with you. I think Mark was trying to say that as young women we can't wait for approval from the insurance companies to start screening - that as young women we need to know our bodies so that when we know something is amiss, we can advocate for ourselves.

Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 04:07 PMThe insurance companies are going to eventaully have to wake up to the fact that preventive screening is SO much less expensive than treatment - someday it might sink in. And yes, knowing your body is critical - it's what both the American Cancer Society and the Canadian equivalent of the ACS recommend, now that they've dropped their recommendation for regular self-exams (which they feel are too easily overlooked). Thanks again for this post - PJH

I see the fight against breast cancer targeting progressively younger and younger women, Anjali. It's terrible that women in their 20s/30s need to concern themselves with BC; but imperative that they do so. As Mark says, "It's not your mother's disease" - though I'd amend that to "It's not JUST your mother's disease; it touches us all." Thanks for sharing this - PJH
