In that research I found some very disturbing facts that related some aspects of Western lifestyle to the high rate of breast cancer, now about 10% and rising. <br />One article I read placed breast cancer in men at about the same rate as some indigenous women. Some older men suffer a decrease in testosterone and a rise in estrogen, promoting estrogen based cancers. The rate quoted was 0.67%.<br /><br />And there is no way I will be presenting myself at a breast screening clinic to be put through the tit squasher!

I'm a breast cancer survivor (10 years now!), but I guess there's no point in returning the favour and reminding you to have a mammogram!!!! (They do say, though, that guys can have breast cancer!)Chartreusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919069110736697400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498398785015106016.post-9987706284355390232010-07-07T13:57:19.274+10:002010-07-07T13:57:19.274+10:00Thanks B 2 " Dawkins " that you are Ok o...Thanks B 2 " Dawkins " that you are Ok once again " Melody Man "<br /><br />R.I.P.

Females, probably because of having children get used to all the medical attention. Unfortunately my Mum was recently diagnosed with bowel cancer - I'm in Brisbane with her at the moment - and it is inoperable and has spread. Maybe if she had been screened earlier she would have been able to have something done about it. I'll have to be screened to because of the genetic component.Gabrielle Brydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10764860288982470482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498398785015106016.post-27381684112408981232010-07-07T12:36:39.921+10:002010-07-07T12:36:39.921+10:00Carrie and Suz, Peter's wife is a very capable...Carrie and Suz, Peter's wife is a very capable young woman and great mother. She is doing fine, but as you say, the message needs to be stated and restated. Being one of 'those' organs, for some, any procedure 'down there' carries silly taboos that leave many vulnerable. I can assure everyone, professional people do this work with discression and understanding, and it is not at all unpleasant.<br />Carrie, we are all waiting for your story!Stafford Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03048757515249725540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498398785015106016.post-507911813103242802010-07-07T11:58:31.006+10:002010-07-07T11:58:31.006+10:00You made me miss this fellow
