I’m not sure that I can find the words to describe the power of that piece of writing. I’m going to be printing it out and circulating it.
So many isues to think about, get angry over and to encourage activism.

It’s all there. And the role of activism in relation to breast cancer. Hmmm… Where is it? There is a very cool organization in San Francisco — http://www.bcaction.org/ Breast Cancer Action — but most of the breast cancer stuff is very conservative.

Brys, I found you when you posted this on BlogHer. Thank you so much.

there is a not very new but still almost unknown excellent method to screen breasts safely and more efficiently than any other method (9% false positives and false negatives). I decribe it in my book “The Barefoot Doctor’s Guide for Women” chapter 6, page 25: “The Imaging of Breast Tissue”. It will be available after September 12th on Amazon.

BCA’s vary in their political activism. My local one provides some good services (eg. a really good lymphedema workshop) but is not very activist in its orientation. I have found my activist allies across the internet – strong feminist activists with a solid analysis of the breast cancer machine. And we are, it seems, becoming increasingly vocal.
