The mornings are hard. Middle of day comes in waves. Mostly bad. Nighttime is hard. I miss getting a text from him right now. Me answering. Him saying he’s too tired to respond. Me saying, “Then why’d you text me so early?”
@DAVIDsTEA can you please explain how to get through to customer service when call back doesn’t work, holding on phone cuts off at 30 mins, and online chat nobody responded for over an hour ? I want to know if my order was cancelled because it is not showing
Thank you to @TOYourHealth9 and @CTVToronto and @MartinYaffe There's much we can do to save lives and that includes telling women their breast density and offering supplemental screening to women with dense breasts. #failingcanadianwomen https://t.co/U96bsFhDDD
Long story short: Don't skip your regular screening mammogram

In NS, PEI, BC,+YT, women can self-refer at 40. In the other provinces, a requisition is needed. Inequity?
The decision to get a mammogram is based on a WOMAN'S values according to our guidelines. Why are woman being refused a requisition? Read more here https://t.co/f82l9WXU3o
I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for speaking out. She’s an unfortunate example of why women with dense breasts need more than just a mammogram. It’s possible it would have been found earlier, if she had ultrasound at the same time as the mammogram or even six months later.
Canadian data: Women 40-49 who have mammograms are 44% less likely to die of breast cancer. The biggest "harm" is transient anxiety if a women is recalled for a false alarm. It's paternalistic to suggest that women would rather die to avoid that anxiety.
