My favorite and most important person, My Mother, had breast cancer two years ago. She had a masectomy removing her left breast, which she also happens to be left handed.

My Mother is the kind of gal with an "S" on her chest for Superwoman, never complains and would never let you know that she can't do something. This past weekend, she came for a visit and I really noticed a drastic change in her. In every culture it is called 'PAIN'.

Well i took some, a little too much,my breast has gotten smaller since than now i barely have any breast .i weigh 138 5'6'' ,ive had taken herbal pills such as fenugreek and saw palmetto for few months now seems like nothing is working even massages.search online is herbal pills really work for breast enlargement im confuse some say it doesn't some say it does.i have very low self esteem because of my greed when i was younger,well now im soo desperate that i might choose to have silicone implants .Now i know that only 18 yr olds can take herbal pills etc..

please help,appreciate it!

Found this article that says monthly breast self exams may not be what they used to.

A review by the Cochrane Collaboration, an international organization that evaluates medical research, claims there’s no evidence that self-exams actually reduce breast cancer deaths. The often-recommended monthly chore may even do more harm than good, according to the group’s analysis of a pair of studies of nearly 400,000 Chinese and Russian women.

Go figure.

The one caveat to this example is a history of breast cancer in the family.

How long did you breastfeed your child(ren)? What influenced the timing of weaning? Did you have an idea of how long you'd nurse when you were pregnant and what influenced this idea?

I live in Scottsdale and have encountered a kiosk at the mall for Weight Loss and green tea. Because I am a breast cancer survivor I am solely interested in the Green Tea's health factor. This product is in powdered form that you add to a bottle of water (during the summer we drink loads of water). I have tasted the mocha flavor and it tastes terrific ( I prefer coffee to tea). It is caffeine free and supposed to be as effective as drinking 50 cups of green tea! I would love to know if this product is as good (and healthy) as they say.

I read lots in the media about prevention, which is great, but very little about what might help those of us who are already living with cancer. I am (so far) a 7-year survivor, and want to live many more years. I'd like to know if some of these preventive treatments would also be helpful for women like me, and what the new treatments are for us as well.

ABC ran a pretty interesting story about women who are having their daughters tested for breast cancer if they have a history of the condition in their families. While many women are also opting out of the tests for their children, there is no shortage of controversy.

What are your thoughts? If you were a woman with a strong family history of breast cancer, would you want your young daughter tested? Would it cause unnecessary worry? Do you consider it proactive?

I hear alot about Stage 1 Breast Cancer or Stag 2 breast cancer, but don't know what that means. Do you know anyone who can explain the differences?

Proposed Mastectomy Law Change
Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill - Important legislation for all women.

There's a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act which will require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital stay for patients undergoing a mastectomy. It's about eliminating the 'drive-through mastectomy' where women are forced to go home just a few hours after surgery, against the wishes of their doctor, still groggy from anesthesia and sometimes with drainage tubes still attached.

My daughter's mother in law has been diagnosed with breast cancer. I want to send her the best books out there. What are they?
