After a decade of breast self-examinations, Cathy Sullivan discovered a lump at age 40. Tests later confirmed she had breast cancer.
Following surgery and treatment, Sullivan is now cancer-free. But she wonders what would have happened if she had followed a new federal recommendation that no longer recommends breast self-examinations.
“I may not be here today,” said Sullivan of Royal Oak.

The cancer industry has blatantly abandoned science these past two weeks by insisting women under 50 should receive annual mammograms even though the industry’s own scientific task force concluded that such screenings result in too many false positives. Essentially, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force took a good, hard look at the science and concluded that mammograms harm far more women than they help (for women under 50, anyway). But when they announced the new recommendations that women under 50 should avoid mammograms — and women over 50 should only get them every other year — the cancer industry cried foul.
Radiologists, oncologists, Big Pharma pill-pushers and cancer industry non-profits all banded together to declare, “We are abandoning the science! We want more mammograms for more women, science be damned!”
Why many American women are resolutely rejecting the new mammogram recommendations, despite mixed reaction in the medical community.

Most adult women know a woman in her 40s who was diagnosed with breast cancer and died.

Anne is a good patient. She sees her doctor for regular checkups, has yearly mammograms, Pap tests, and colon cancer screenings, and she even paid for a full-body CT scan out of her own pocket. She figures she’s doing everything she can to make sure she doesn’t get cancer.
Truth is, Anne is doing nothing to prevent cancer. Although cancer screening is billed as a preventive service that saves lives, the best it can do is detect disease in its early stages, when it is supposedly easier to treat. Nevertheless, every year millions of Americans dutifully line up for their screenings, completely unaware that they may be doing more harm than good.
