Why aren't women all up in arms over the fact that you don't get annual stress tests? Your heart is much more important. How much plaque is built up in your arteries? Have you ever had any kind of test to tell you that? Since you're most likely to die of that, don't you think it's important?

Whoever said that's its at the expense of everything else? Its not like women just go get a mammogram and ignore all other health concerns. I am as concerned over other aspects of my health as I am breast cancer. I'm sure I'm not the only women who feels this way. And for your information, I'm concerned over my cardiovascular health, too.
