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'.

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?

Since Cynthia Nixon just talked about her breast cancer (I believe detected by a mammogram in her very early 40s) as well as Cheryl Crow and Melissa Etheridge also in their early 40s. Kylie Minogue was in her mid 30s. And of course, there are the thousands of young women out there we haven't heard of. Routine mammograms are advised to women starting in their 40s. I know breast tissue is denser when we are younger so cancer is less detectable but it seems breast cancer is being seen in younger and younger women.

I am a breast cancer survivor who had a mastectomy in one breast two years ago. I am now cancer-free, but my other breast is very sensitive and painful. Has anyone has this problem also?

Hi Michelle- Over the summer I had a lumpectomy due to estrogen-receptive Breast Cancer and I'm wondering if you might know an excellent doctor who has experience treating women with Tamoxifin substitutes that are natural such as Indole 3 Carbinol? We have been given contradictory advice by nutritionists, chiropractors, physicians and oncologists about how to successfully lower my estrogen. Warmly, Barbara in Thousand Oaks, CA
