In a misguided attempt to help the Haitian earthquake recovery effort, apparently a lot of new moms have been sending their breast milk over for infants that have been orphaned by the tragic happening, in a response to what they thought was a call for breast milk from whoever could spare it.  They thought or [...]

The latest mammogram guidelines that were set as a result of a government appointed US advisory panel pretty much had sparks flying from the beginning when they were recommended last year. The new recommendations had women waiting until they were 50, not 40, even if they were considered a high risk group for breast cancer [...]

I recently purchased a pretty cool bra, of all places, at a Target store, and of all things, bought it on clearance for a really good, cheap price.  I actually bought it for going away to Las Vegas to get married. It just so happened to fit my idea of sexy and a little bit [...]

On mine and my now-husband’s way to Las Vegas, at the Cleveland airport, we were subjected to the newest technology in airport security, and we were confused because we had never been through one before.

It’s hard to say that all breast implants many times feel hard to the touch, but there are many implants that do, and that’s just because they are not a really soft material like natural breast tissue is, and it’s very hard to mimic real breast tissue in the breast augmentation process, no matter how [...]

Many women apparently are refusing to have MRIs done that could greatly benefit from one of the magnetic resonance imaging tests due to their status as high risk breast cancer potential patients.  MRI’s have a much better chance at detecting breast cancer when it’s in the very earliest stages in these at risk women because [...]
