Peggy Orenstein, a cancer survivor herself, examines the effectiveness, hysteria, and unintended consequences of the campaign.
The article is short on medical jargon and double talk, so you don’t need a Ph.D to read it. It’s a reminder of the dangers of allowing good intentions to be a substitute for actual results.
