BREAST REGRESSION

BREAST REGRESSION

I came upon this really great article from a woman doctor that talks about the stages that our breasts go through on their way down. It's a witty piece but more than that it points out that it is a subject not talked about.

I believe that because so much connection is made between a woman and her breasts, it is simple unthinkable to talk about the fact that in her late thirties and early forties, she can expect that the balloons are deflating. More than that they are on their way to disappearing almost completely.

Women with small breasts to begin with are the most bothered by this, but in the end, all any of us will be left with are folds of hollow skin with nipples.

DOUBLE MASTECTOMY MISTAKE !

DOUBLE MASTECTOMY MISTAKE !

A woman had a suspicious growth in her breast and had a biopsy done. The lab who did the biopsy reported that the woman had breast cancer. Her doctor determined that based on the information the biopsy provided, she needed to have a double mastectomy to save her life.

After surgery she was told that she didn't have cancer and never did. They believe the mix up occurred because the sample from the biopsy was mislabeled by the lab technician who was handling more than one sample at a time.

To make the situation worse there is also a woman out there who had this aggressive form of breast cancer and may not have been told in time.

People don't usually have second biopsies, however if the results of a biopsy are going to cause you to loose a part of your body, maybe a second biopsy would seem in order. I for one after hearing this story, would insist on it.

The woman is suing the lab and I hope she gets every penny she's asking for.

STUDY FINDS WOMEN MISINFORMED ABOUT BREAST CANCER

A
study has discovered that most women are very misinformed about breast cancer. They say that many believe it comes from genetics and that eating a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables will protect them from getting it. Women still think that the best way of finding it are breast self exams, and mammograms.

They say breast cancer not only needs awareness, but also better education and more research.

MOM AND DAD , BUY ME BIGGER BOOBS !

MOM AND DAD , BUY ME BIGGER BOOBS !

Girls as young as fifteen are asking for and getting breast implants for their birthdays, graduations, and Christmases. To make matters worse it's their parents who are buying the implants for them.

I can understand a young woman who is very flat chested wanting to have some kind of breasts, but a child? Who's to say they won't grow more in the next couple of years?

There just seems to be something wrong with cosmetic surgery on one so young, unless there are special or extreme circumstances. If the teen feels that bad about themselves, maybe they would be better served if mom and dad would pay for some therapy or counseling, at least until the age of eighteen or so.
