DR. FUNK IS SOOOOOOOO RUDE.
DURING THE BRA SEGMENT (ON 11/22/09 AT 2:2OAM EST), SHE WAS MAKING STRANGE FACES WHILE THE GUEST WAS EXPLAINING HOW TO PURCHASE THE CORRECT BRA.

I am very disturbed by these new guidelines. My older sister died of breast cancer at age 49 and I believe if she had started getting earlier mammograms her life would not have ended.

Because of her death I started my mammograms yearly at age 34 and will continue them yearly.

I hope women will continue to get the early exams and do the self exams…PLEASE

I am a soon to be 16 year Breast Cancer Survivor, and it all started with a rountine mamogrham. If a woman has to wait until she is 50 and would happen to be diagnosed with the cancer, and under go the treatments and surgery, chances are it would have been cought EARLIER and she wouldn’t have gone from a STAGE 1 to a STAGE 2 or 3. MAMOGRHMS SAVE LIVES!! That why we have such a great survival rate!!
