Dear Tricia,
I am so very sorry to hear about your sister.
Here we are 23 yrs. later and "STILL" many dr.
react the same way with younger women.
I would like to see some of approach through ads,
marketing addressing younger women and proper
breast health. Encouraging without using fear,
to follow up on suspcious lumps. While some women
do experience lumpy cysts during their monthly cycles
most know their bodies and what feels normal. If a lump is lasting more than one monthly cycle it should be
checked thoroughly.
Tricia, sadly there has been great amounts of exposure
of cancer causing toxins that we are now finding out
about. I was saddened and sorry to read your post and it was very kind of you to share it with us.
Kindest Regards,
Jean
