Breast Updates

     This is just a reminder to pay some attention to your breast health by examining them even if you are a man. Remember that men get breast cancer too. I ran across a story on the news not long ago about a married couple that were both diagnosed with breast cancer at the same time. The wife discovered hers first and the husband was so concered about her that he wanted to know what she felt at first, and there he discovered a lump.

     Their story works out fine, as they were both caught early enoungh for effective treament and are now clear of the disease. Good for them!

     Salma has a one year old daughter and is in the process of weaning her daughter from the breast. She still has plenty of milk and felt sorry for the hungry infant who was one week old, born on her daughters first birthday. Here's the video,
