Prevention is better than cure. Just read an article in ****LINK DELETED BY ADMIN PER FORUM POSTING RULES -- PLEASE REVIEW IN TOP SECTION ON MAIN PAGE -- THANK YOU********. It mentions that

Smokers And Overweight Women Are At Greater Risk Of Breast Cancer.Gosh.I will give the damn smoking and keep fit

right now. I don't want to put myself under high risk of breast cancer. Share the article as following， hope the

smoker and the fat like me will learn:

A recent study published in the Journal of Cancer Epidemiology has reinforced the correlation between being

overweight, smoking and breast cancer. What makes this study unique is how test subjects were not diagnosed for

BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations, which predispose women to breast cancer. Instead, women with such gene mutations

were excluded to allow researchers to concentrate on lifestyle factors such as smoking, exercise, nutrition and weight.

Gillian,

Don't let that post upset you. It was probably done by a spammer who doesn't even think about the consequences of what they say.

I saw your post in the cervical cancer area and am very sorry. My own daughter has to be checked constantly and is on that path to keep things clear with her cervix. This is a difficult thing for young women and I'm sorry it happened to you.

Many hugs,
PBJ
