Lee Denim Day

Lee Denim Day is coming up on Oct. 6. To get info go to denimday.com I'm hoping to get more people to participate this year. Also, I got a catalog at school from positive promotions and it is all breast cancer merchandise. Kinda cool stuff. I'm sure you could get a catalog at positivepromotions.com
And finally I have a question. There is a new lady at work this year. She asked me if I minded her asking me questions about my cancer and treatments, etc.... I told her to go for it and answered her questions. She did ask me one though I'd never heard before. And if anybody can give me info to tell her I will. Have any of you heard about underwire bras and breast cancer risks? I told her none of my doctors had ever said anything to me and it was probably an urban myth.

Underwire bras and the risk of breast cancer is on the same lines as underarm deodorant, powder, etc. No facts on it.

Most underwire in the underwire bra is really made out of some teflon-like material...
Pretty much everything mankind has invented has some kind of downside, but I doubt the underwire bra is something to be concerned about.
