I stopped getting mammograms five years ago after they scared the hell out of me with the need for an ultrasound and two other tests because they “found something and had to move quickly”. It was just fatty cyst tissue. But they made their financial killing at the expense of my immense anxiety I went through. Never again. Doctors sent me…
I stopped getting mammograms five years ago after they scared the hell out of me with the need for an ultrasound and two other tests because they “found something and had to move quickly”. It was just fatty cyst tissue. But they made their financial killing at the expense of my immense anxiety I went through. Never again. Doctors sent me a message through MyChart that I was due for one and I flat out told them in my reply F* Off! (pardon my French, but please allow it - it was deeply earned)
The same with mammograms, and I won’t do a colonoscopy again either. They’re free with your Medicare ins. Yeah, right. Then I’m saving Medicare all kinds of money….To keep my doctor in case I break something or really need one for, I don’t know, something, I had to make a Medicare appointment visit. I haven’t been in 4 years. But I know the routine. Spend 45 minutes with a Medicare nurse answering ridiculously dumb questions, do the usuals, blood pressure checks, listen to your heart, check your nose and throat. Then the PA will ask if you want a myriad of “immunizations” , and tell you to get your blood work done. Nope, nope, and nope.
The fear of breast cancer and impending doom if you don't get all the tests very much mimics the fear that was installed in many people about the dangers of covid and the need to frequently test.
I did the Cologuard instead. Nurse tried to have me get colonoscopy because I wouldn't have to have another one in 5-7 years. Cologuard was every three years. I voted for that because of the dangers of the colonscopy. Morons.
Been using that for the last 10 or 12 years. Because I’ve had polyps, thinking of having a last colonoscopy. (I’m 73.) Just can’t get up the courage, tho.
My husband and I both have Cologuard tests sitting in our closets. Our insurance supplemental sends them out. A friend who’s husband has to have colonoscopy’s more frequently, said all the Cologuard tests do is check for blood in the stool. They invariably find it, then they recommend a colonoscopy. It’s all a racket.
And I wonder how much that added stress contributes to the disease burden - either leading to eventual cancer of some type, or causing any number of chronic illnesses in which stress can be a factor.
There is zero doubt that stress and trauma triggers cancer, and pretty much all disease. Hence the push by the cabal to keep the sheep in a state of constant fear. Zika! Measles! Stupid 19! Monkey Pox! Flu!
Turn off the TV. Chill. Read a book. Been in Maine for 2 weeks at a place with no TV, and no 4G cell service., yet somehow, we are still alive
Just read your comment about your friend just diagnosed with cancer but won't use dog dewormer because it is not Fauci approved. (I am unable to see and respond directly to comments today for some reason, so I just looked for your name and something else you posted). Impressive she won't even do her own research to verify or disprove.
Makes sense right? My wife used it and it worked, but she trusts the covid enforcers more than real life examples. You did what you could. Life is hard on stupid people, and it well could cost her her life.
I would like to think if I was in that position, try everything to see if it helps, what could it hurt to try? What's the new saying? Can't fix stupid?
Every time I had one I had to go back for a second look, so I would skip a couple years because I had 2. Haven’t been for Years and never will! Luckily my Dr quit (between two week appointments) 😳 they had to wait to reassign me to someone else but eventually forgot about me 😂
I had the exact same experience. Doctor's office called and said we need to do another mammogram. Person calling couldn't tell me why which made me freak out more (friend had mastectomy a few years before). I had a 3D one and it was nothing. I was FURIOUS at the doctor's office. Found out their big corporate owner wouldn't let person calling patients tell what the issue was and of course doctor wasn't available.
Before turbo jab induced cancer, cancer was Not something you needed to act quickly to address. Fear porn. Cancer is slow growing, or at least, was. And I adore breasts, but you don't need them. it's not like the cancer was in your brain, or causing a blockage (Then you need to act fast)

Same . They do house calls for our annual well visits. When asked to do further tests & recommended shots , the answer is always NO .
Best weapon in a woman’s toolbox these days: F* Off!
We have to stop being nice to people that are trying to kill us.
Ditto!!!!

But I’ll take it over the colonoscopy.

I went through a similar experience. They also did a biopsy and I had to wait weeks for the results. NEVER AGAIN.
Same happened to me, ultrasound then a biopsy, turned out same thing, but at least they told me before the weekend so I wasn't left wondering.

Many suffer from false positives and they rush women into making fast decisions without second opinions or time to think.

Happens all the time. It's ridiculous.
Me too
