1 in 1900 PLEASE READ
Please go to this site. A t-shirt was designed that I am buying immediately. The money is going to the American Cancer Society. It says I am one in 1900. It points out those of us who had breast cancer under 50 and whose lives were saved by mammograms. They also have My sister, my wife, my daughter, my friend. I have never been so excited about a t-shirt before!!!!!!!!

Lets show those fuckers we are out here!!!!!

5. What's behind the rec to not get mamograms between 40 and 50 years?
Is it another one of those draconian equations of cost savings vs. peoples' lives?

6. ?
The report has been saying that 'only" 1 in 1900 lives is saved if a mammogram is gotten before age 50, thereby saying that one death was acceptable. This t-shirt shows that the "one" is not acceptable and is a real person whose life is saved by mammogram.

It sure sounds like an insurance company lobbyist is behind it to me!

8. Yep, sounds like a health insurance co. decision/report/advisory to me
But we'll never know unless Jon Stewart busts them.
