Today was mammogram day for me. I understand that there is some question about this screening test, but I go once a year without fail. I don't even think that I am in a particularly high risk group. I just do it and hope for the best. I once worked with a woman who would not get any kind of screening test--blood pressure, nothing. She said if there was a problem she would just rather not know about it. Actually, I understand that line of reasoning but I have not given myself permission to go there. I also understand the cynicism about all the "pink" merchandise and the issues of awareness versus actual commitment to prevention and real cures but I optimistically hope that good intention prevails in the world.
