I just called my Grandma to ask how she was enjoying this cold, wet weather, and she said she has to go have a mammogram so she's gotta go out. I guess you are never to old to develope cancer? Crazy though!
Damn, you still have to have mammograms at 87?

I feel like at that point I might as well let the cancer take me.

No JLg, once you hit 86, your body develops this awesome antibody that just eats cancer. But not until you hit 86.

Why? That would pretty much be like the death panels conservatives are so scared of.

The older one is the more likely to develop breast cancer. My grandmother didn't get breast cancer until she was 85. My other was 79.

As long as you have breasts you will need a mammgram. no matter what age. Would you think that once you were in your 80's you shouldn't even bother
going to the doctor's at all for your regular checkup?

Did you have to paste "mammogram" from another site because you couldn't spell it?
