This is a most excellent example of propaganda. Women do not universally reject all drugs, or all cancer drugs, because of side effects, when informed. What they did was weigh ALL the risks. They were at heightened risk of developing breast cancer, but it wasn't guaranteed, and there were many other things the women could do to either prevent getting cancer or deal with it early and effectively. They were not in the position of...

Do you want to look like Trigger? http://www.roadsideamerica.com/pet/trigger.ht...

Here's another twist to this story. Does the medical profession and the general public understand the insurance ramifications of being called back for a diagnostic mammogram for those who are unemployed or self-employed, and might wish to obtain an individual health insurance policy in the near future? If you have a diagnostic mammogram whereby a radiologist says "let's just put you on a watch to make nothing else comes of...

There is nothing like a friend. Children will never cease to amaze me!

Hi Gail, Thank you for the info, I will look that up. I take all my treatments at my doctor's office. They have all there own oncology nurses and staff. They are great and work with every part of your care not just administer the chemo. This one was really bad...I was flat on my back for 10 days! I just came back to work and I am still not back to normal but better. I am not looking forward to the next one, I'm sure they are...

A diagnostic mammogram is a more detailed exam with specialized pictures of the breast done when something abnormal shows up on a screening mammogram. They are usually checked immediately by the Radiologist to ensure that no...

The mammography industry chooses to blame the radiologist but the real problem is mammography itself. An X-Ray procedure, any X-Ray procedure works by contrasting dense from non-dense tissue. While that principle works well when studying bone structure, last time I checked, there were no bones in breast tissue. Micro-calcifications show up well but they occur as a response to tissue stress, a possible secondary to breast cancer but also many...

I'm a patient with this cancer. I've read a bunch on this cancer and I urge all concerned to read Dr. Servan-schreiber's book using it as a refence to great sources of information and potential self treatments.(These would only be in addition to the courses of treatment your oncologist-s suggest.)

Four and 1/2 years on, "Expectant Management With Curative Intent". Thanks Dr. HBC
