Breast Cancer
Now people have not enough time for checking their health , so they have opportunity to being cancers . When your hormone system �s working is wrong , it will cause cancers . Breast cancer is one of cancers which will be happen to women . According a survey , 80 percent of women get breast cancer . In my view , women should take care of themselves from breast cancer for 3 reasons .
First , breast cancer is bad for your health . It makes your body weaken and your mind miserable . For example , when you take radiation for treatment , it has effect to you such as lose your hair . Besides , it makes you lose your breast because of operating .
Second , breast cancer leads to sadness and misery . Sometimes you are more serious about your illness and it makes people who stay beside you feel anxious about you . For example , you fear death and close people fear to lose you or lover .
Finally , you must increasing your expenditure , because you will spend a lot of money for treatment . Besides , some case Thailand has not technology for treatment , so you must go to hospital in the foreign country for treatment .
In conclusion , I think breast cancer is quite danger for women , Between 1982 � 1986 and 1992 � 1994 , the 5 year survival rate for women with breast cancer increased from 72.3 to 84 percent . Do you have the method for protecting yourself from breast cancer ?

I have volunteered at a non-profit that organizes wilderness retreats for brest cancer patients and survivors in. It's been an eye-opening experience. Young women tend to take their *beep* for granted. They all should be aware that it's a real threat and ever single one of them might get affected.

IT's really sad Sad

I see that the Ayatollahs that run the censorship bureau here think that
b r e a s t is a bad word. I think, Dave and Nana and Corey, you need to adjust your settings, unless you really are fundamentalist religious fools. In the latter case, you need to give your heads a shake.

No, "breast" made it past the censor, as did "boob". Must be something else not used in polite society. Maybe the T-word "tit"?

In any case, women, get them checked (whatever word you prefer)! Don't let the cancer get you. Get a mammogram, let your doctor check you out. Learn self-exams. And better yet, get your husband to help! Your monthly or weekly self-exam will happily become his daily chore. Very Happy

It happened again! Now I know for sure that it's the plural form that can't make it past the censors.
