    Oh no, I'm a METS fan too!

    Never had a root canal, though (in fact, only one cavity in my whole life, at age 34).

    Jean Nate - check.

    Catholic school uniform, knee socks, eraser dust -- check, check, check.

    (Barbie, wax candy, sniffing mimeograph developer -- mentioned that all many pages/ages ago!)

    Boyfriend sleeps on right, BC on my left!!! Surprised

    being sick makes you introspetive so I KNOW what it is...holding in sneezes is the culprit- made all those nasty cold and/or flu germs go straight to the ducts where they got  clogged like a big ole sinus infection!!!!!!!!!!! Then after it sat a while- BAM BC

    Have med onc quarterly visit tomorrow at which time they will take blood. 

    Before BC my right arm was the easiest to find a vein so that's where they always drew blood AND that's the side I got BC on.  A connection????  If so and now they take it only from the left arm, does that mean that after taking it there for 50 years I will get BC on the left?  (and by then at age 100+, will I care).

    Hmmmm, wonder what would have happened if they drew blood from the leg?  Where would hte cancer show up then.

    Have some tooth pain and can't get to dentist for a while so grabbed the Ambesol from the med cabinet, dipped Q-tip in and swabbed the area.  THEN thought to look at the expiration date on the bottle:  Exp 8-08!!!

    Wonder how many times we've used something that expired (well not 15 months).  Perhaps that's what causes BC?

    I think I got bc by spending so much time on bc sites.

    No, wait.  That was after I got bc.  Nevermind.

    I thought viewers might be interested in this power point presentation I created about the mammary tumor virus, aka the Pink Virus, and its possible involvement in human breast cancer.

    To view the presentation, go to the link below:

    Sigh,.... she did not even look at what this thread really is

     I think BC is caused by being annoyed. Like when someone comes on this forum and tries to sell their product

    I got BC because I died my hair hot pink when a teenager and I own 3 hot pink coats and 3 pairs of pink shoes.  Clearly I went over board on the pink and that caused the BC

    i have always been a right side sleeper and thats where my bc was-hmmmm theory....??

    Pink was never my favorite color.....maybe that was my problem i didn't like the color so it demanded it- gues what it's NOT gonna get it...

    Patoo- HEY girl

    if getting annoyed is a cause I GOT IT- and this slow computer will be good for a relapse!!

    Good to hear from everyone.keep on laughing, or giggling...i have to come here to get my dose of laughter...so keep it coming..

    That must be it.

    alright already it's too quiet here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think that I got BC from clutching those stupid holiday gifts  close to my chest as i carried them to  the counter while trying to fa-la-la and pretend that i was not a victim of holiday commercialism

    either that or all the good thanksgiving food had too much soy and i was (and am still) doomed!!

    I think that it was hot dogs.   Whatever passes as meat has a female hormone hating chemical and that is why only a few men get BC.  Note that the hot dog is considered so "safe" yet it sits there waiting to scare your hormones into making tumours.

    worse than that!!! Good ole' Brats cooked with onions...

    from all i have seen on soy and all the hidden soy, and phytoestrogens and beef and all the other stuff i just think that if it tastes good it causes BC!!!!!!!!!! I think that's why after chemo all the food tastes like cardboard cuz that's what we're supposed to be eating.

    I sleep on my right side, but got BC on my left breast. Of course that was my larger breast, so at least it was not too noticeable when a lump was removed!

    so if it tastes good it not only makes us fat but gives us BC!

    yep patoo- that's my theory- if it tastes good it will either give you high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, thunder thighs or BREAST CANCER....guess what???? I have all but the diabetes so I guess i know what is next on MY to- do list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If repressed anger is a risk factor i am well on my way to recurrance----I am one bottled up bag of PO'd-------KIDS!!!!!! What WAS i thinking???????????????????????????

    Hmmmmmmm, yes, I remember those PO'd at kids days.  That could be a cause because we are not supposed to get p****sed at thos wonderful, thrilling little people.  If you do, boom - BC!

    bumping for those who could use a little laughter; some of these are soooooooooo funny.

    BTW, I'm watching The Sound of Music for the umpteenth time.  Perhaps that's what gave me BC?  Wonder if I should check the credits for soy products LOL!
