this sounds very interesting!

Having had breast cancer twice, 2 different types, I'm always interested in there being more and more publicity around the topic.

and the young woman did a lot before she died, by writing her blog.


Unfortunately, we can't see that programme over here.

My Wife also has had breast cancer twice -mastectomy both times.

We talk openly about it but it is good (if that's the right word) to see the subject get wider publicity.

Robert .............

I also had mastectomies both times, and was lucky not to have to have either chemo or radiation because of it.

I think the more we talk about it, the more people will learn, and the sooner women will go for mammograms and tests

We also must not forget that MEN can also get breast cancer.

I have just watched this programme and what an inspiration Lisa Lynch was.

We should all talk about the big C more often instead of just shoving it to one side and trying to ignore the condition.

God Bless you Lisa another Angel in Heaven.
