A very dear friend of mine died in recent years of cancer, and she was quite young, only 33. I have been looking into some new research completed by Newcastle University in Australia that was published this year on breast cancer and melanoma. If you know someone who is affected by cancer or yourself you might like to read some of the details on www.mc-s.com.au, or locate the site via search in google for 'metabolic cell support'. Thank you. This is a topic that is very close to my heart. A very dear friend of mine died in recent years of cancer, and she was quite young, only 33.

I had no idea you were doing this. Everywhere I've turned in the last week has been about breasts. I'm a little scared. Okay, a lot scared.

My mom was diagnosed with BC 3 years ago. It was a very difficult time for our family. It's hard to feel lumps when you're breastfeeding, but I do them anyway. {{{HUGS}}} Karla in El Paso Thanks for the reminder! My mom was diagnosed with BC 3 years ago.

Something small showed up in my left breast. I was then sent for an ultrasound. I now have to see a general surgeon on Aug. 7. I think a biopsy is coming next, not sure. My family has a huge history of breast cancer and my best friend just had a double mastectomy this month. So please, ladies, check and go to your annual mammograms, realizing that self exams are necessary because you know your breasts and can detect any changes in them.
