The province needs to ensure quality along with quantity. Thank you to the nurse for speaking out. Troubling that they have fear of reprisal - perhaps that’s the root of the problem.

This animation was an inordinate amount of work. Was it the best use of my time? Hmm. But once I had the idea I was compelled to give it a go. And what’s life for if not for satisfying creative whimsy? #cansky

So apparently the government asked a group of experts in EBM to review the work of the task force and based on that review the government has asked the task force to pause their work for a month.

A temporary pause can create space for expert voices and improved approaches to come forward. Let’s hope this pause leads to meaningful changes that prioritize early detection and better outcomes for all. #CanSky #CancerBS #BreastCancer #BreastDensity

I hate to be a downer, but this is why we need to #screen40 and offer supplemental screening for people with dense breasts - Category C and D. #CanSky #CancerBS #Manitoba Also you’re never too young to have a symptom or a sign checked out. #DemandImaging.

You’re absolutely right—more funding and research for metastatic breast cancer is critical, and early detection isn’t a guarantee
010
Jenny B @jborgfjord.bsky.social · 19/02/2025
I’m so sorry that happened to you. Mammograms don’t catch all cancers, mine included. I was definitely under educated about BC before my diagnosis -possibly by design? it is my understanding, though that radiologists determine your density from mammograms, which ‘should’ lead to further imaging.
000
Jenny B @jborgfjord.bsky.social · 17/02/2025
True for #breastcancer. Early detection saves lives and quality of life. Get your mammogram—a few minutes of discomfort is far more manageable than the devastating news of a later-stage cancer. Demand supplemental imaging for dense breasts. #ThanksCancer #CanSky #KnowYourLemons #ThanksHank

As a breast cancer survivor, I faced both support and gaps in care. My experience highlights the critical need for empathy, active listening, & clear communication in cancer care.

Make sure to learn what your breast density is. Mammograms are not perfect. And consider doing regular self exams. Dense Breasts Canada and Know Your Lemons are great resources.
A graphic with a yellow background features the phrase ‘I promise to self-examine’ in bold text. In the center, a lemon is placed, with a pink hand gently touching it, symbolizing breast self-exams. The ‘Know Your Lemons’ logo is also present, reinforcing the breast health awareness message.

The Livy Method works because it views the body as a complex, interconnected system. By addressing the root causes of weight issues—such as poor digestion, hormonal imbalances, and lifestyle factors—it helps participants achieve sustainable results that go far beyond “calories in, calories out.”

True. Although I do feel it is more $ accessible than some other offerings. The Livy Method make some of their resources free through podcasts. Search their title on your favourite platform. There are no monthly fees, extra food costs etc. Do you have other recommendations?
