Yes, I could have squeezed (no mammogram pun intended!) all this into fewer videos, but feel the women deserve to know the whole truth so they can make up their own minds. I am not opposed to mammograms. I am opposed to the patronizing attitude that women should be simply badgered into them without being fully informed about the benefits and risks. Some women will still choose to get them. Others will not. It’s up to them to decide.
