Worthy Cause!

The preservation of boobs is something both men and women can get behind.

Unfortunately Joe ( and I thought you were very smart)when breast cancer is involved they don't usually preserve them, they end up removing them! All in an effort to preserve life.

Exactly, which is why we need research to prevent it. This doesn't raise money for performing mastectomies, it raises money to try and make them unnecessary.

Yes the world will be a much happier and healthier place once this disease is eradicated!

I am not sure the disease will ever be eradicated totally but the survival statistics are much better. At the San Antonio Breast Cancer last year evidence was presented that the overall incidence of breast cancer is diminishing which is interesting and good! But did you know that the incidence of lung cancer in non smoking women is up? Second hand smoke is likely that culprit.

>Second hand smoke is likely that culprit.

If the cause was SHS why would the rate be increasing as the SHS exposure rate is decreasing? Is that your conclusion or are you quoting somebody else?

The weather was perfect for the Race for the Cure! It definitely had a hint of fall to it. It was great being part of such an important event. It's very moving to see all the ladies in their pink survivor shirts out fighting the battle against breast cancer! Cheers to you folks!

May you have long happy lives!
