Dr. Susan Love

I have deleted my account as an Army of Women volunteer due to the stand Dr. Susan Love takes on the governmental task force on mammography. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in my 40's, and without years of comparison films, my tumor would not have been found as early. I feel that women's health has now been weighed by the government, and a certain percentage of the population will now be considered "expendable". More women will die and/or have additional long term health problems due to cancers being found later in more advanced stages, and the recommended treatment being necessarily more aggressive. How much is a human life worth? Certainly to those of us who have had cancer, we would like to see our survival valued by the providers of health care in this country. I am so disappointed in Dr. Love's stand.
