I voted AND had my first mamogram!

While some might enjoy the "I don't wanna know what's going on in my body" approach, routine screenings have caught cancers and saved millions of lives. If one of those saved is your mother, your sister, your daughter, or yourself, you might change your perspective. Recommending that people skip screenings that are recommended by their doctors could lead to deadly results.

Everyone should use their own judgement in this regard. Don't let one or two opinions on the internet risk your health.

Spend some time with a few thousand people who are all personally touched by breast cancer. Survivors literally fighting for their lives, children struggling after losing their mothers, husbands and sons trying to make a difference after losing their loved ones. Look in their eyes, and then decide if it's all a scam.

Edit: Only 5 - 10% of breast cancers are considered "hereditary", which means that at least 90% of the cases have NO family history.
