Thank you Tavis. I just had my exam and mammogram and am waiting on my results. Ladies please take care of ourselves. It's easier to deal with something when it's small than when it gets bigger.

Consider healing alternatives to conventional medical practice; "Rife"; Beck's protocol", "mms" and others...

Tavis is right! All women (and men, too - men die from this disease all the time) have to get regular checkups and do proper self-exams, so they know what feels normal/what is a change in their tissue. Don't let fear stop you from knowing the truth!

I'm with you Tavis...this illness can and should be eradicated by now
