Mammograms have now been stopped in a number of countries but as ever the UK and NHS lag behind the times.
We have discussed this at length before, the terrible statistics, the awful tales of women told that their Mammograms returned positive (falsely) and were then subjected to the conveyor belt of horrible treatments etc etc.
Irradiating your body is never a sensible thing to do.

All I will say now is that you women have a choice. If you don't like the idea of those nasty (very soft, btw) X-rays or the plates with sharp edges (eh?) that squash you flat, then just don't have your mammo!
They are not compulsory.
Give up your appointment and make a space for someone else.

Read the data, be informed, make an informed decision.

If you have already provided pages of data, plus posted a link to it all, is it really necessary to repeat and reiterate the same views all over again on this thread too?
Anyone who is interested can read your link.
Those that aren't interested, have made their own decision.

Re: Mammogram
Someone somewhere is working on a blood test that will be able to detect numerous common cancers, including breast cancer. I hope they hurry up and develop it. The great thing about this is that it would detect hard to find cancers such as ovarian, pancreatic, oesophageal.https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320679.php
