And I’m regularly annoyed by the way that most articles ignore the environmental factors that many believe are likely causes. …Is it diet, pollution or chemical products?

I’m more than annoyed, I’m furious.

(I might be biased because of her name, though) Women's magazines and information sources have a duty to talk about women's health in a real way. The articles should have focused on causes, prevention, and treatment. They should have recorded the very real and traumatic experiences and should have included testimony from the women breast cancer most affects. It is shameful, utterly shameful.

My mother had breast cancer (from menopause hormones) and had both breast removed. I watched her go threw the agony of not only the surgery but the loss of self as she lost part of what made her feel a "woman". I am just thankful that my father is the type of man that stuck with her and made her feel beautiful through the whole process. So that article can kiss my ass.
