To: Editorial Board of The Washington Post Too often women are faced with the cultural pressures of what constitutes a “good” mother. They may hear mantras such as “Breast is best,” or “Formula-feeding: convenient and easy.” America has been notorious for creating this false dichotomy of us vs. them or good vs. bad, and now it’s rearing its ugly head in the realm of motherhood. But one must consider: since when did a mother’s feeding preference label them as a good or bad parent?…
Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is a type of cancer of the breast. IDC starts in the milk ducts of the breast, breaks through the walls of the duct, and begins to invade and grow into the fatty tissue of the breast. Since this is an invasive cancer, it is then able to spread to other organs in the body, such as the lymphatic system. IDC is the most common form of breast cancer, accounting for 70-80% of all breast cancer diagnoses. A key component in diagnosing IDC is yearly screening mammograms starting at the age of 40, since this is around the peak age, which for breast cancer is between 50-60 years old.…

This has been found to be largely due to discovery of the disease at an advanced stage caused by a variety of reasons such as low income, lack of access to care, lack of a usual health care provider, lack of recommendation from a provider to get mammography screening, and lack of awareness of breast cancer risks and screening methods (rephrase). In response to these barriers, Breast and Cervical Early detection programs have been instituted to provide early detection testing to low-income, underserved, under-insured and uninsured women in the US (reference).…

These tests identify cancer early, increase chance of survival, and are a reliable method of preventative cancer screening.…
