I have to admit, I am a bit saddened that there is so little activity in this group - especially with it being October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month....
*****My thoughts and prayers to the survivors, the fighters, and the women and men who have left us..............

World Tea News reported a study indicating that tea drinking may decrease the risk of breast cancer. The study, conducted at the Moffitt Cancer Center, was published in Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. The research team observed that participants who consumed three or more cups of tea per day had a "37 percent reduced breast cancer risk when compared with women reporting no tea consumption."

OK, today I had my first official mammogram and I wonder what all the fuss is about.
It was simple and took only 10 minutes once I was topless. And it was absolutely painless.

Before my sister was diagnosed with Breast Cancer my dad's youngest sister died of Breast Cancer.
She died one week before my sister's regularly schedule pap and mammo.
My sister found out she had breast cancer two weeks after my aunt died.

My sister was diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Ductile Breast Cancer approximately two weeks ago (it seems like a blur so I cannot remember the exact date she called up and she she had just found out). She just found out she has Triple Negative Breast Cancer, which means a long course of chemotherapy with treatments of radiation.
What I need to know is how do I help (or organize/resolve) the practical day to day and monthly issues that a homeowner and head of household has to deal with?

Hi,
My mother has been a resident of the State of FL for 26 years now. She has not had health insurance since the death of my father 7 years ago. Due to her economic standards she is unable to afford health insurance and her place of work does not offer it to their employees.

This article struck me because my maternal grandmother had a double mastectomy. I also have a stepmother who had a lumpectomy, chemo and radiation.
From Newsweek:
The Deepest Cut
The author of a new memoir talks about her decision to have her breasts removed to lower her cancer risk, and her desire to be a mother.

In August 2007, my mom was diagnosed with lobular carcinoma in the left breast.
First, she had a biopsy, which confirmed the cancer.
Shortly after that, she had the lymph nodes removed, which was about 30% of the breast.
