Quote by HeraTeleiaI know, because that is what her oncologist told her. She was diagnosed with a very agressive type of tumor, tha t progressed from a grain of rice to something between a pea and a marble within a month. Without BSE, she would have been dead. And she is not the only one I know, for who this is true.
Ermm...it was peer-reviewed (think The Lancet and the JAMA) and involved researchers from the National Institutes of Health...you know, in the United States. So...your personal experience outweighs that of nearly 300,000 women? I'd also be interested in knowing how you "know" your sister would be dead if she hadn't found her whatever. The most common form of breast cancer in women under 40 is ductal carcinoma in situ, a slow-progressing version of BRCA. The thing about breast cancer is, you can spend your life agonising over it, or you can spend your life realising that hey, cancer will never be cured in the sense that nobody ever gets it, ever again, but at the individual level? It is eminently curable. I've chosen to live my life in the latter mindset.
I'm not saying don't do the monthly BSE thing if it makes you feel better. I'm saying do the BSE monthly if you want to do it, but know that you will likely eventually find something that will lead to a painful, expensive procedure that will like prove to have been unnecessary.
Even if the majority of 300000 chinese women did not benefit from BSE, even if saved just one life, it's worth learning and doing it. That one life could be yours after all.

I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but a study of over 300,000 women in China revealed that monthly breast self-exams were no more effective at finding cancer early than a yearly exam by a physician (just an exam, not by mammography or other means).
My first reaction to this is: it's a publication from the chinese government. In my view, that's worth just as much as the "evidence" provided by some "scientists" that prove the universe is only 6000 years and a bit old.
Second: I know a few people, one of them my own sister, who would now be dead, if they hadn't self examined their breasts regularly. Regardless of what the chinese government and their scientists claim, and regardless of how you feel about that, I KNOW it saves lives. I've witnessed it more than once.

And Rescue Mission is that way patokl
I don't get it Shotgun. Rescue mission and pan handler? Are those the things that represent your sense of humor, because you seem to enjoy stalking me with them. If you have nothing positive or humorous to add, I'd appreciate it, if you'd stop pestering me in that childish way. Thank you.
Oh, and by the way, Molly, I'm taking back my seat from you...

My sister survived breast cancer, but she has no more tiddies to show as a result. I never had any to show but:
What a lot of people don't realize, is that men can and do get breastcancer as well. That's why I decided to post the only breast I'm allowed to show here, my own. Not a beautiful boob, I know, but it's all I have.
