(The following is a short rant that's been boiling in my head for several weeks. Apologies for the lack of cohesive thought here.)
This stupid ass thing has been clogging up my news feed on social media for weeks. And I hate it. I hate that, of course, she's wearing pink. Hate the fist pump. Hate the "warrior" triumphant facial expression.
Find. Treat. Live. REALLY??? Mammograms do NOT save lives people! Mammograms detect the presence, or lack thereof, cancer. Period. And, if your 3D mammograms detects cancer, and it is stage IV.... Peace of mind?
No. A 3D mammogram is NOT peace of mind. Sure as hell wasn't for me my first time at the 3D rodeo. Rather, it landed me straight in panic mode, as it detected something the radiologist wanted to have biopsied. So, no. It provided zero peace of mind.
I posted a comment on the ad stating these thoughts, amid all the "Yes it is" and "Getting mine next week" posts. I even private messaged the page thinking...hoping for a reply and even removal of this stupid thing. But no. I still see it. Like, just now saw it and decided to come here and bitch about it.
And, when I do go to get my third 3D mammogram, every single damn employee and technician will have some sort of pink bullshit on their outfit or lab coat.
So over it. I'm also considering moving my mammogram to the first of the year, since it has somehow managed to land in Pinktober, rather than in September.
