Men Against Breast Cancer

Hi All,

I am currently at the 3rd Annual Men Against Breast Cancer Meeting here in Baltimore. I thought that I would share perhaps the most profound statement about breast cancer that I have ever heard.

"The first place breast cancer metasthesizes is to the
family"


Think about ir.

Regards
Joe

Just when you think you've heard it all...but boy isn't that the truth! Wow! That statement is a keeper and will stick in my head forever. Thanks for sharing that...I know I will be passing that on to others I talk to.
