Breaking: Women’s voices were heard. The Cancer Screening Task Force will modernize thanks to a motion I co-led. The Liberals tried to block it — but we got it passed. Cross-party teamwork saved it. Breast cancer screening starting at 40 could now be a reality. #cdnpoli https://www.cp24.com/news/canada/2025/06/14/a-landmark-decision-advocates-celebrate-reform-of-health-screening-task-force/ #cdnpoli #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness #cancerscreening

I was pilloried on here recently for my criticism of PSA as a screening test for prostate cancer.
Here's a much more insightful letter from someone much more eminent that I am with more insights into not only PSA, but the whole diagnostic and treatment conundrum around this condition
The Guardian · Men concerned about prostate cancer should think before asking for a PSA test
Now that the postal strike is over, I finally sent out my shit through the mail. Oh, the indignity. Possibly the worst part is the envelope isn't a peel-and-stick but a lickem-stickem. Whose idea was that? Gross. #CancerScreening #ColonCancerScreening #FIT #Poop
Are Cancer Screening Tests Painful or Safe?
Cancer screening tests vary in invasiveness. 1 Some, like mammograms, may cause mild discomfort. 2 Others, like colonoscopies, require sedation. 3 Most are safe with minimal risks. Discuss concerns with your doctor.

#Health Panel Endorses New Option for Cervical #CancerScreening
Doctors routinely advise that #women undergoing screening for cervical #cancer receive Pap smears every three years beginning at age 21. Beginning at age 30 patients may go to a doctor’s office and collect their own sample to be tested for #HPV, the infection that causes most cases of #cervicalcancer, according to new guidelines issued on Tuesday by a national health services panel.

The New York Times · Health Panel Endorses New Option for Cervical Cancer Screening
I received a letter in the mail on the last day of postal service from Ontario Health. The letter contains a kit for colorectal cancer testing. At that point, I had no idea Canada Post would be going on strike. It's only because someone on Mastodon mentioned the strike that I knew it was happening. Shouldn't there be notifications for this kind of thing?
It's a good thing I found out about the strike or my poop sample would still be sitting in a mailbox.
In case you've never received one of these cancer screening kits, be advised that the enclosed postage-paid envelopes aren't peel-and-stick. What sort of monster decided lick-and-stick envelopes were the best choice for fecal samples?

Hey everyone in Ontario with breasts! If you’re due for a mammogram, don’t wait for the letter from the province to book your appointment, because the 2 month lead time they provide is not sufficient. In KW, booking is 7-8 months out.
(I guess privatized health services don’t actually solve the problems created by austerity. Huh.)
