I don't like blanket statements either and, if I made one here, that was in error and I am sorry. I believe we have miles to go on research into prevention and the cure. And I certainly don't believe that eating better and exercising more are where we should stop in our fight.<br /><br />Prevention is, however, an important part of the dialogue for me. I needed someone on my cancer treatment team to be an advocate for how I could take a more active role in my future health. I guess I am trying to be that advocate for other women, especially those who are feeling as helpless as I once did. And I hope that includes women with the genetic connection as well. <br /><br />Thanks for helping me out! We'll fix the world yet. :-)<br /><br />CynCynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081995834192948768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1217857351360944513.post-68946992298208387352011-04-19T07:34:05.785-07:002011-04-19T07:34:05.785-07:00Cyn,

Mine was caused by genetics and many people of all ages also still get cancer despite a healthy lifestyle. Something seems to be missing here. I agree with you, the government should be doing more to make the environment and products we use on a daily basis safer. It doesn't seem like they are quite doing their part does it?nancyspointhttp://www.nancyspoint.comnoreply@blogger.com
