Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's interesting. My initial anticipation as I read through the guidelines was how it was considered that women did not have the ability to make decisions and that somehow the feeling of anxiety trumped living. As someone who has dealt both with the anxiety of being sent out of my community and with getting additional testing as a result of dense breasts, the anxiety that really keeps me up at night is the anxiety of wondering whether I will live to see my children grow up, not the anxiety surrounding a test.
My question is for you, Dr. Gordon.
What advice would you have if you could draft new screening guidelines for Canada?
