We  know of three (3) women who found something in one of their Breasts and when they went to their doctors, their doctors thought it was nothing. All three (3)  of those women had Breast Cancer!   The two (2) women that we know personally, their treatment for Breast Cancer was delayed, eight months, and one year, respectively, because their doctors assumed it was nothing.  Fortunately, the majority of things women find in their breasts have nothing to do with Breast Cancer. Many times, the doctors seem to respond, reflexively, that the problem is nothing.  The two (2) women we know live in Colombia, where the doctors are normally excellent and very caring about their patients. One of the women went to her doctor, complaining of pain in one or both breasts. The other woman was told that she had a strained muscle.

The third woman, Lanny read about on FoxNews.com  She is a 21 year old university student and a FoxNews Intern. One day, she was putting on her Bra, and she found something. She went to her doctor and he or she thought it was nothing, but, fortunately, ordered a mammogram examination, probably to protect the doctor from a medical malpractice lawsuit. She had Stage 3 Breast Cancer. In nine (9) days, her tumor was three (3) times larger.

It is our recommendation that any woman whose doctor believes her breast problem is nothing, have a mammogram examination, immediately, so a Radiologist can confirm that it is indeed nothing that is life threatening!

During March 2008, we watched a one hour TV program on the Discovery Home and Health channel, about Breast Cancer. One of the simple things they mentioned is that eating Tomatoes is very beneficial to women who have Breast Cancer. Especially Tomatoes that have been cooked.  Also, women with Breast Cancer who participated in a support group, with other patients, had a much better possibility of surviving.
