Ok so this Doctor comes on and says "the best way to fight breast cancer is prevention" so my ears perk up....Prevention? Please do tell us how to prevent it.....
"and the best prevention," he goes on to say " is mamograms and self exams" Huh? I can "prevent" a recurrence through mamograms and self exams?...gee I'll have to tell my Onc. that... I always thought that the mamogram and self exam were for early DIAGNOSIS !!!Silly me! If I had known I could have "prevented" my BC through mamograms and self exams , I would have had one every day...and this commercial has been on the local channel for at least 2 weeks.... I swear!!!!....

It is sad to mislead the public. Wonder who is getting rich off that one? Greed is a terrible thing. ♥Pammy
Ok, Pammy, quit being so darn cute. And, whew! Thanks, Dy, for the stupid commercial. Self- breast exam and mammos did not help one bit to prevent MY breast cancer. xoxoxox Lynn -
