I don't understand why we can't. People talk about the harms of mammograms, but the only harm I can think of is the $75 cost of getting one. Being told that you might have cancer and that you need a biopsy is terrible, but it's much worse to miss that.
Lots of people I know have heard my story. They've self-advocated and they've struggled. They've had a hard time getting a mammogram because their doctors have also told them no. I just don't understand why Canadian women can't access the care they need, which is a mammogram at 40 or even younger.
