@TheSpec Do you knew w if you’re dense? The only way is to get a mammogram, and get it at forty. Dense breasts increase the risk of cancer, even more than family history.
@JuliaBradbury@Cheryl_Cruwys There needs to be more education of doctors, GPS and patients about breast density to understand what it means, implications on screening and to allow women to have the choice to know.
@d_oram@PositiveLight6@AOgieglo 2/2 Where do these contracted nurses pay taxes or spend their earnings? IDK. is this where the feds $5 Billion for health care went? To make the sp party look better?
@d_oram@PositiveLight6@AOgieglo No it can’t.
However I was recently in OR and ICU in one of the major Regina hospitals. Many nurses were imported from other provinces at a higher contract pay rate than our own provincially trained nurses. How could this be right?

@DrPaulaGordon@densebreastscdn@my_screening Thank you for your@service to our American sisters . Just wish our Canada task force for preventive health care could see how they are harming our Canadian sisters.
Find your #breastcancer early. The later the stage at Dx, the higher the $$ cost. And this doesn't include missed work hours or other lost opportunities! Get your mammo, find out your #breastdensity and get additional screening if you are dense! #mydensitymatters
@PremierScottMoe Two points: 1. This disaster is, in large part - not entirely but significantly - YOUR doing. 2. You will take the money and privatize. That's what you mean by "long term growth and sustainability".
(Obviously Moe is not going to see this and wouldn't listen anyway.)
Breast cancer diagnosis peaks in the late 50s and early 60s for white women, but peaks in the mid-40s for Black and Asian women. @cantaskforce recommends against screening in the 40s for all women based on a discredited study and ignores racial disparities.
