Consider yourself lucky...

"Consider yourself lucky, you're over 40 and uninsured."

Yep. That's what I was told this morning.

Ok, I was at the free breast screening program up at St. Luke's, and apparently, they lost some funding this past year and their free program now only serves uninsured women over 40.
Go me.

yeah, now you all know (approximately) how old i am.

This makes me thankful that free breast screening is the norm over here. All women over the age of 50 gets free screening every three years and younger women if you have a family history of it.

And as mentioned before, I have no idea what my family history is. I guess that is a good reason to find out more info. My sister did. I think mostly because when she was 45, she had the precursor to uterine cancer. She ended up getting a full hysterectomy.

It makes sound sense to check these things out. The older I get the more this stuff comes to the forefront of my mind. I imagine you know that feeling. I hope your sister is doing well now.
