I'm out...
Oakleaf, while it sounds like you don't want to be dragged into a debate about mammography--and I certainly appreciate that--I'd genuinely be interested to learn more. If you could direct me to the news stories and/or studies you're referring to, I'd like to read them. I believe in mammography, but at the end of the day, I just want to make informed decisions. My attempt to Google has brought up more information than I can wade through. Feel free to post here or PM me. Or, if you'd just rather not, I understand. 
Thank you.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
