I have signed up for and done the first survey already. Then I emailed every woman I have contact with, encouraging them to do the same, as women over 18 who have not had cancer can join too. I think that one benefit will be for these women, that the questions will raise warning bells re factors known or hypothesized to have a link with breast cancer. Maybe then they will do more research, and focus on prevention, e.g., by avoiding alcohol, having more physical activity, nursing their babies, etc.

I have so much respect for Dr Susan Love... her book on breast health and cancer is my favourite of all my books, my bible, so to speak!
