#1 If only it were so! (Just saying it was taboo would make it true).
Spousal Unit just went through several hellish months as the Doctors were trying to determine if the lump was cancerous. finally determined it not to be.

#2 Glad she's OK, #1 Ret.

"we live in the 21st century and yet, there are individuals who still live in 7th century when it comes to womens health and just about everything else"

There - fixed.

#4 My best to you both USN, Ret. I am glad every checked out fine.

I went sweated through 6 months of medical checkup when the doctor thought I might have had colon cancer. Fortunately, it wasn't the case. It's never easy not knowing.

#5 Glad she's OK, #1 Ret.

Same thing. My own mother's a survivor. I'm currently writing a book and movie plot line about this exact same subject. It will trace an object half-way around the world and through several centuries as it finally serves the cause of how repressed cultures inadequately deal with and treat their ailing women.

Western medicine's male-dominated treatment structure is bad enough. Add into it the Third World's abominable misogyny and things all go straight to hell in a handbasket.

Anyone who is interested in fighting under-reporting of Asian female cancers can feel free to contact me about my script. It will highlight this ill-mentioned disaster for once and all.
