  • Lol, u have breast cancer? AhahAhahAhahaha loser

  • Sadly, doctors, do scare women into all kinds of stuff. They've been doing it for centuries.

  • actually, i think you are the one with no fricking clue about what you are talking about.

  • To all of you that think this is some type of joke.. The woman in the film with the bandanna on was an individual I grew up with as a child. I remember her mother passing away at 44 years old nearly 38 years ago. Linda Pedraza died back in 2005 at 45 years old. All these women have one thing in common.. The BRCA mutated gene. 85% chance of breast cancer!! This is a death sentence.. Is this a money making scheme as mentioned by one of these postings? Life is too precious.....

  • is it true Breast Cancer started as a VD? That's what Wiki said....

  • Wow, this needs more views.

  • The red meat/cancer connection is groundless.

  • These iditic doctors scare these women poopless just to get their money. They generally have not a fricking clue about what they're really doing, which is to elevate themselves.

  • These women are as ignorant as they are scared. The stupid doctors advocating the preemptive removal of healthy tissue based on statistical cancer risk should be forced out of the profession. Hey, why not routinely cut out every little girl's ovaries and breasts at birth, since that would RADICALLY reduce breast/ovarian cancer rates! I know, it's a horrible thought, but there are probably dumb&%@* doctors out there thinking, "hmmm . . . might be profitable and beneficial" Most doctors r DUMB!
