Never had a mammogram and never will

Where I last worked one day one of my co-workers came into the office and said, "Have you gotten your mammogram ladies? Don't forget once a year you must get a mammogram." I kept quiet, because I figured she would think I was weird if I told her I've never had a mammogram and never intend to, and it's best not to get into philosophical differences at work.

The general public has been propagandized into thinking that mammograms will save them from breast cancer, when probably the opposite is true. I always had a gut feeling that there was something wrong about mammograms, and now I'm discovering that I was right. Here's what Dr. Kim has to say about mammograms.

I also think that dry cleaning probably contributes to breast cancer. A lot of rich career women get breast cancer, and you know they get all those silk blouses and smart woolen suits dry cleaned.

Then there is the bra link to cancer described in this book. This sounds quite plausible to me, because I have worn quite a few tight bras, and they could very well constrict the flow through the lymph glands right under the skin. This is one benefit of not having a job; I don't have to wear a bra all day.
