Ontario is lowering the age for regular, publicly funded breast cancer screenings from 50 to 40, which Health Minister Sylvia Jones says will help with early detection.  Jones said Monday that the expansion will mean an additional 130,000 mammograms are completed in the province each year. "Nearly 12,000 Ontarians are diagnosed with breast cancer each and every year," she said at a news conference announcing the change. "We know early detection through regular screening with mammograms can save lives, detecting breast cancer before it has the chance to spread, and with this historic expansion more mammograms will be performed each and every year, ensuring breast cancer is caught earlier and treated sooner."

I had my first mammogram today and it went just fine. It wasn't painful at all, and the technician showed me an image she captured of one of my tits and all the veins and stuff inside it!

(IDK for sure which tit it was, but it looked great so I'm guessing it was the left one. It's my superior boob.)

And the best news: Nothing out of the ordinary showed up.

...I do kinda wish I could've gotten a copy of that image she showed me, though.

More young women are getting breast cancer. They want answers.

Kelsey Kaminky first noticed a small lump in her left breast in November. It felt like a misshapen marble. Given her young age, her doctor suspected it was a benign cyst and told her further testing wouldn’t be needed. But Kaminky, 32, couldn’t shake a bad feeling. She insisted on getting a mammogram. “I advocated for myself because I knew, I just knew,” she said. The lump was breast cancer.

Quick personal recap:

Started mammos at 30.

Caught pre-invasive at 36, bilateral mastectomy 3 months later. No bras, no regrets. Negative for any known associated gene mutation. Mother had stage 1 breast cancer at 48.

Full disclosure while we're on the topic, these were my surgeries:

Bilateral mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy (6) with immediate reconstruction with expanders for future implants.

Expanders removed nearly a year later due to extreme and constant complications.

First revision surgery 3 years after mastectomy.

Second revision surgery 5 years after mastectomy. Now finally flat enough for a nice tattoo canvas starting soon!

Doctors who say "You're too young to have cancer" are shitheads. And America is a shithole capitalist country.

I don't know why the above article and society at large have ignored this link between Black women using hair relaxer and as a result developing aggressive breast cancer. Just immediately buried.

For Black women in America, a breast cancer diagnosis brings with it a disturbing statistic. Black women are less likely to develop breast cancer but 40 percent more likely to die from it than white women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That alarming state makes early detection all the more critical for Black women.

How Effective Is Breast Cancer Screening?

Mammograms are a type of screening where images of the breast tissue are taken. Mammograms detect breast cancer cells in mammary glands, as well as identify growths and tumors that might not be found at a physical exam. A mammogram is basically a high-quality picture that takes different views from all angles to show anything off from tissues to cysts or clots hidden within the breasts.

🌸💖 Happy National Mammography Day! 💞📅

Today, on October 20, 2023, we emphasize the importance of breast health and the vital role that mammography plays in early breast cancer detection. This day serves as a reminder to prioritize your well-being and encourage others to do the same.

🎗️ Mammograms are a critical tool in the fight against breast cancer. They can detect abnormalities in breast tissue, often long before any symptoms appear, increasing the chances of successful treatment and recovery.

Here's how you can observe this day:

Schedule a Mammogram: If you're due for one, take the initiative.

Support and Share: Encourage loved ones to prioritize their breast health. 3️ Self-Examinations: Perform regular breast self-examinations.

🎀 On National Mammography Day, let's spread awareness about the importance of early detection, support those affected by breast cancer, and honor the survivors and fighters. Share your stories, experiences, or supportive messages in the comments.

💕 Your health is precious, so take care of yourself and those you love. Together, we can make a difference! 🌸🎗️
