nah no triggers, I don't bother getting them. I am celibate, so there's no reason to check for that. Most of the results are incorrect anyway (dumb labs are full of incompetent ppl also.)

I also don't do mamograms. Read a study where the incidence of breast cancer has increased 250% since they told us to get yearly mamograms.

This is not, I repeat, increase in detection but the increase in cancer. Doctors that oppose mamograms say that they believe it is because the test crushes and causes any contained growth to metastasize ... well they have fancier terms for it. I'll wait for the ultrasounc test to be perfected.

And while I'm on a soap box, I'm not keen on the colonoscopy either. I am thinking about the pill camera instead... but with the scope, yeah they can remove anything they might find, but the incidence of the doctor hitting an intestinal wall and tearing it, causing an infection and a few days in the hospital (causing an increase risk of picking up an infection) is too high to warrant it for me.
