November 21, 2009 at 8:00 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (11)
On the heels of this week's mammogram controversy comes new guidelines for cervical cancer screening from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. In a nutshell, here's what it says: Women should delay their first Pap test until age 21, and be screened less often than recommended in the past.
Is anyone else concerned that all these new recommendations are suggesting LESS—not more—cancer screening for women?

New Mammogram Advice Upsets Women Everywhere
November 19, 2009 at 7:30 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (5)
We weren't the only ones who were upset this week after a government task force announced that most women in their 40s should no longer get routine mammograms; instead, it recommended that regular breast cancer screening start at age 50.
Women (and their doctors) across the country—including here on CafeMom—were confused and uneasy about this dramatic shift in approach to breast cancer detection.
That's why I was so relieved to read despite the new mammogram advice, Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is telling women to "don't change what you do."

Sarah Palin: "Newsweek Cover Is Sexist"
November 17, 2009 at 11:30 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (9)
Sarah Palin has been all over the news this week—not only because of the release of her book, Going Rogue, and her Oprah interview, but also because of an unfortunate photo on the cover of Newsweek (click link to see photo).
The cover features a photo of Palin dressed in a running outfit and showing a lot of leg, leaning against the American flag. The title reads: “How Do You Solve A Problem Like Sarah."
Guess what: Palin's calling it sexist...
