I keep hearing that it's rare before 40ish... But is there an actual percentage for the chance of a 20-year-old girl getting breast cancer? Especially one who has it in her family, but only after menopause? If so, would there be any chance of an advanced stage, or would it more or less have to be one of the early stages? (And furthermore, how big are lumps?)

Some people think it is a great way to help prevent getting some forms of cervical cancer and it is a health concern that people should take seriously (4000 women will die from cervical cancer this year -- taken from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention). But some people feel that it will provoke sexual activity with teens. Also, some people are afraid of what the long term effects may be if there are any. In the magazine "First--For women On The Go", one woman from Florida stated in a poll that "it wouldn't encourage sexual activity any more than a tetanus shot encourages kids to step on rusty nails" (June 18, 2007 issue, Page 6). What are your thoughts and opinions?

or some type of 'notice' [claimed a deceased spouse,ect. 'visited them' either in a dream or via apparition to let them know they would soon be joining them
Do you have any stories--true stories concerning death and soon to be life after?

If you'd like to star this question, I'll definately be posting SEVERAL TRUE stories by my Mother who works in a nursing home as a professional nurse
She has many many stories/experiences in person about this type of thing right before an elderly person passes away [words,experiences from the folks living there,and then passed over]
please share some of yours

two surgeries in the last year.. one for cervical cancer, the other for endometreosis. could the few years of antidepressants be a cause? i've finally tapered off of them, but wondering if any of these could be a cause?

It is in the distal head of my fibula which I have no recollection of injuring. orthopod says pain is coming from the bone, not tendons/ligaments. so the xray shows a dark lession in the head of the fibula which corresponds to the location of the pain! UGH We are following up with and MRI and follow up on Friday.....moved up a week and a half, and just a few days is killing me. I am 34 F with no history of cancer and I am not sick....just fat. I have broken down today and got some ativan from the doc to get me throuhg this....I am a HUGE MESS! What can it be? If they find something in the mri will they do a biopsy? If it is simply a cyst what do they do to get it out of there? What posible cancers could be growing there and what do they mean! GET IT OUT GET IT OUT!!!!! And the best thing is my work is not gonna let me take a sick day on Friday to go to and adsorb my appointments....isn't there something illegal about not letting me use my sick days?
