Safer Sex

I'm pleased that public health workers are taking steps (however small) to promote the discussion of safe sex in India. The evidence is in: Abstinance training in young people is NOT successful and will never be. Promoting masturbation (the safest sex of all) should at least be promoted as a healthy and acceptable alternative. Furthermore, ALL young people need to be completely aware of the need for condoms if abstinance is not possible.

Clearly Bob's a insensitive appendage, which should be removed.

It is mankind and the industrial age that has encouraged the onset of more occurrences of cancer. Eventually the disease will subside when the earth has returned to being a friendly enviorment.

I am proud of the way Christina Applegate has taken charge of her life, and body. I do not believe that removing an organ (or in her case her breasts), in fear that you will get cancer is "silly", nor do I believe she overreacted. She had an 87% chance of getting cancer again.. I agree breasts are not needed to survive. My sister was diagnosed with colon cancer in April.. The very first thing out of her mouth was REMOVE THE ENTIRE COLON.... Of course the doctor said that wasn't needed, and she would be able to live a normal life, and luckily it looks like she will be this disease... She is lucky. Many are not. Cancer in any form sucks.... Take my breasts if there is a possiblity that I won't see my kids grow up.. They are NOT what make a woman...

seeing and reading all of this gets fans and others wondering

Seeing how she has said its goign to be serverl months down the road,and with her filming samatha who.Witch fits now with her seeing do you call her sam(sort for samantha or Sam as in Samual seeing what defines a female as wanted is her body,seeing how most what i read,Puts my thinking of her without breasts and seeing her without anything on her chest,makes us wonder how her friends,family and colliles as well as fans going to treat someone like her,in the world we live in,men and woman are different in all apperances,there looks for one is what really defines a man or a woman,not just the sexual organs,seeing how after she gets breast reconstrucion who knows if she will go the extra steps to fully complete it with arealos and nipple reconstruction.It is also hard for her to except that over time that skin will be very senictived,but she will no longer have any feelings in that area so as for an active sex life it might never return.She might have her senice of humor intact but in the long run she might regert it seeing how,to most people i have talked to we all are sympthyic to her but at the same time this one person does not see her as a female becouse her body is not femmine anymore without what god maid when he created eve,intill that part is restored,its come to my attention that she is 50% female on the inside but on the outside you can tell she was not really herself on that interview,i belive most ppl were looking at the interview and paying more attention to her vneck shirt,and more attention to her chest to see if they could see anything that would make her somewhat female in apperence,to this person who has followed her entire career,this is the low point as i see it her personal low point,"Applegate said she plans to have breast reconstruction several months down the road" With that line it looks like she might wait a yr or two before going thru this,i wonder what the producses are going to do about her in Char on her show seeing this does pose alot of challanges,when the main char is female but lacks the fenninme quailtys her breasts

Christina's decision

No one can understand how badly you just want the cancer out. You don't want to live with the sword of Damocles over your head at every check up and blood test. Take them off & go on. I did it and never looked bsack. But i was lucky, i had a wonderful husband & children. i was fortunate. i hope she gets to have a baby and make a new life for herself.

Be brave, Be strong but only do what's right for you...

You are in my heart underneath my nippleless breast..i pray for you. You know what's important in this life- enjoy it.

SIZE 32 B breast

I think the needs a size 32 B breast size operation. it seems she will not be able to handle a 46DD size.

They wrote a book, so it has to be true! Everyone dying of cancer is stupid, if they'd just have read this guys book! Ken of CA, you're a genius, really! You'll save millions of peoples lives with this information.

This was a HORRIBLE MISTAKE

This doctor in Italy is getting a 99% cure rate, reversing ALL types of breast cancer in 6 to 8 days. Watch this interview and judge for yourself. http://www.knowthecause.com/Shows/TullioSimonciniMDWithDougKaufmann/tabid/109/Default.aspx

Hollywood and Beverly Hills have the most expensive QUACKS in the world.
