  12. that is so sad..i pray that never happens to any of my friends or me

  13. im 12 years old and my friend who is also 12 was diagnosed with cancer is she to young to have it

  14. Eating lots of fruits, veges, less greasy and fried foods, drinking lots of pure juices especially water, DAILY. Excersizing, multi vitamins, laying off alcohol, cigarettes. All these things prevent breast cancer. Also it’s not good to wear a bra 24/7, only wear them when your out. Try avoiding wired bras, wireless and thin cotton bras are the best.

  15. OMG POOR GIRL

  16. I was diagnosed with a very rare form of breast cancer called a malignant phyllodes tumor. Age 26. No family history of cancer. My tumor was over 8 cm, and I had to have an emergency partial mastectomy. I was denied care by Fairfax County Health department, and Every Womans Life for the state of Virginia, due to my not being over 40 years old. I was told I was “too young for breast cancer”, that I had an “infection called mastitis” (even though I am not a mother), which delayed diagnosis

  17. * Women who wore their bras 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer (in their study, n=2056 for the cancer group and n=2674 for the standard group).

    * Women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day but not to bed had a 1 out of 7 risk.
    * Women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day had…… a 1 out of 152 risk.
    * Women who wore bras rarely or never had a 1 out of 168 chance of
    getting breast cancer.The overall difference between 24 vs 0 a 125-fold difference

  18. Thank you….the mind is a very powerful tool….keeping positive is so important…sorry to read of your wife….I also lost my mum to breast cancer….she never got to meet all of her grandchildren…..

  19. Yes it is dear….and so many of us are motherless children. You will need to get yourself checked now, and alert yourself to the possibility of getting it when you are older…my mother, my grandmother, and great grandmother, all died from breast cancer…so so sad….you never get over it, just learn to live with it.

  20. thanks :)

  22. no gettin my mammogram n the mornin

  23. did anyone reply

  24. I found out my mom had breast cancer two days after my 10th birthday. She fought it so hard and it was nearly done until one day it all of a sudden spread. She died two days after my 13th birthday. Same day she found out she had it. She was only 45. I’m 15 now and everyday I wish for a cure so no one has to go through what I had to go through. It’s a horrible disease.

  25. It just doesn’t work that way. Cancer isn’t transferable by ingesting cancerous cells. There are many excellent pathophysiology textbooks you can find on the subject.

    On the other hand, people should avoid eating too much meat with carcinogenic preservatives like BHT or charred (burned) meat, because both of these have been shown to increase the risk of cancer.
