Thanks for asking.
I freaked out because my mother developed BC at my age;
my brother is a prostrate cancer survivor and I have lost
three relatives to it in the last year.

Fortunately, we can still afford insurance, so I am
in hyper screening mode while I can get it done.

I went without a mammogram for at least five years- STUPID, I know.
Time for a pap smear as I am also at risk for that one.

All of the fascists attempts to deny women screening makes me FURIOUS.
