Just reflecting - I don't think Tanya's saying 'people who have scans are out of touch with their bodies' or 'scans are unnecessary' or 'no-one is in touch with their body these days'.
Absolutely some scans are necessary, helpful, reassuring, life saving. One or all of those things!
I just took it as she was mourning the fact that some people don't take notice of their bodies anymore because as times change we are relying on other people to tell us about our own bodies. Which not everyone will see as a negative thing anyway.
Obviously there are people who know their bodies well AND have scans! But I do wonder - as a huge umbrella generalisation - do we know our bodies less well or more well than our grandmas, who knew their cycles and didn't have scans? I don't mean know ABOUT our bodies, but I mean sort of being 'in tune' knowing symptoms and things...
