My daughter is 23, and we have not yet been able to convince Kaiser she should have a mammogram. Their argument is that at her age, her breasts are too dense, and she needs to wait. but---after…

reconstruction improvements?
Hi, I'm a new subscriber. Had both breasts removed during 1991-2 and have been cancer free since then. I have silicone implants, and have never had trouble with them.

Patient Advocate Foundation Info
The site is www.patientadvocate.org and the phone number is 1-800-532-5274. They work by donations. They can answer questions about work and insurance discrimination...but I think we need a movement of some sort because I don't see anyone standing up for our rights in congress or in the public eye. And there are more…

I have a friend whose BC has met. to her liver. She was having chemo weekly for a long time, then was switched to once every three weeks. All through it all she has done fantastically.
