If more women speak out, we'll be harder to target.

It's something that's going to be with me forever, and he won't ever have to think about it again.

I pretty much knew it was going to happen whether I said yes or no.

The percentage of women who have been screened is probably somewhere between 34 and 61 per cent, and this is too low. However, breast cancer death rates have been declining and screening is one reason for this downward trend.

While it's encouraging that the proportion of women in organized breast cancer screening programs has increased over time, in 2003 participation was only 34 per cent nationally.

The reality is that the overwhelming majority of women are working and they're going to be part of the labor force for a long time. While they may choose to take time off, they're doing things that women in '60s weren't doing.
