Well, DUH. Ok, "duh" to anyone who has researched the real fundamentals of cancer development, spread and prevention,  However, I was NOT one of those informed until after I had my mastectomy, so there's that.  But little did I know that the changes I did make prior to that surgery made a huge difference ...Read More...
