Breast Cancer Awareness is Bullshit

awareness helps women detect cancer sooner and improves their prognoses. it also makes them more conscious of maybe not going nuts with birth control hormones

I read somewhere that a wiminz partner is most likely to detect the lump....have more sex wiminz if you want to save your life...

whats particularly scary is women tend to present differently than men for an MI as well


I had one woman in the back of the ambulance that we picked up at work because she felt 'dizzy" and un-well..no chest jaw or arm pain but felt a little sob..her respirations were kind of high but nothing to write home about

turned out her BP was flucuating from like 160/120 to 110/60 in the span of minutes
I thought I forgot how to take a bp...I wont say I wasn't reassured to see it flucuating on a monitor at the ED

she was actually having a major event but you really wouldn't of known it to look at her
same with strokes for women...I really think women compensate a little better than men, but then like infants they compensate very well until they die
 
Yeah pink ribbons and shit won't cure a disease. But like said above..more money for better research and education to save lives is always a worthy cause.

My mom had breast cancer 8 years ago and thought it was beat. Yearly scans showed no signs of cancer. We found out last month it has returned and has metastasized to her bones. She was on prempro for years after a hysterectomy, her doctors told her it was safe and wouldn't cause cancer. The pharm reps told her doctors it was safe. Just a week or two ago there was an article saying those who take a combined HRT are at a greater risk of dying from breast cancer. There is a lot of lying going on when trying to get a new drug approved, companies can get rid of studies they don't like and just submit the good ones to the FDA. There are similar stories with antipsychotic drugs too.

Whats done is done, but it doesn't have to happen in the future. and I know big pharm will not change. But you certainly feel cheated when a company lies to make money and someone you love is dying because they made a decision based on a lie.
