While I had a lumpectomy and did not need implants, I have so many friends who have undergone breast reconstruction and have had resulting complications.

		<description><![CDATA[I was out shopping for the holidays and came across an item that claims to make spots disappear. I admit, the claim is appealing to me. Since I&#8217;ve been on Xeloda, I&#8217;ve noticed even more age spots on my face. Heck, I&#8217;m only 48! I asked the nice lady at the counter about parabens, and she [...]]]></description>

In September, I lost another dear friend Ashley. In July, Evan Mattingly (who was featured in my book) died. In December, it was my close friend Nevine. And [...]]]></description>

Most of us had no family history (reflective of most the breast cancer population) and there were so many of us under 40! In fact, several members [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last month, I posted about the government panel&#8217;s findings about chemicals in our environment as it relates to cancer. According to the panel’s findings, there are 8o,000 chemicals  in commercial use, but federal regulators have assessed only about 200 for safety. Pretty scary huh? There are things we can&#8217;t control, but there are plenty of ways we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I received an update in my inbox from a very reputable cancer organization. I won&#8217;t mention their name because I think they do great work.  The article touted the safety of parabens, a preservative found in beauty and personal care products, and Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical found in plastics. They cite scientific evidence that the levels are [...]]]></description>
