I’m looking for a natural deoderant that ACTUALLY works because I read in alternative health magazine that normal deoderant has been linked to breast cancer in women due to some nasty chemicals commonly used (it said that the most common area for a woman to get breast cancer lumps is nearest to the arm pit area where she puts deoderant on!)

The magazine reccomended using natural deoderants. I then read online that alot of them dont work very well.

Thats why I am asking. What product would you reccomend?

thanks!

So here is the info for you:
I am sexually active, but use a condom EVERY TIME and am on the pill. I haven’t missed a pill at all and he never ejaculates inside of me, ever.

But here is the flip side. About 3 weeks ago, I found out my mother had masses on her liver, and I’ve been crying, and not sleeping, and eating unheathily, and to say the least I’ve been an emotional wreck. We now know she has Inflammatory Breast Cancer, stage 4, that has spread to her Liver via her Lymph system.

I took two tests, and both came back negative for pregnancy.
It’s only been a few days since my period should have started. And I know it wants to, because I’m cramping, and I broke out on time as usual.

So, I wanted to ask, is it possible that this upset about my mother could be making my period late, or make it not come at all?

My 29 year old sister says that she has cancer and doesn’t have much time to live. She said a few months ago she found a lump in her breast, got a biopsy done it was Stage 3 breast cancer, now she says that they took another biopsy after giving her chemo shots, and it has moved to Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and there is no help for her. I asked her why didn’t they do a mastectomy, more chemo, why didn’t her hair fall out, etc. She said she doesn’t want a mastectomy and it wouldn’t do any good anyway, she was too far along. That she just did chemo shots because she didn’t want to lose her hair and is too far along for regular chemo and would get too sick to take care of her kids. She is working nights full time, and doesn’t seem sick. The only change I’ve seen is that she has lost a bunch of weight over the last year. I was afraid that she was developing an eating disorder for the last year because she has lost at least 25lbs. and is so skinny that she looks sick. I never see her eat and every time I would try to bring up her weight loss she would just smile and act happy about it. I’m thin myself, so this is not a case of jealousy. She won’t let anyone go to the doctor with her, or anything of the sort. It seems like she has told everyone a different version of this story. Is she telling the truth? Does this sound likely? Last year she supposedly had crohns disease, yet doesn’t take any medicine for it. When a doctor asked her during her last pregnancy why she doesn’t take medicine for it she said that she couldn’t because of the pregnancy, he told her that wasn’t true. She said that they found out while she was on the table for the last test to see if she had crohns that she was pregnant and they stopped the test right then in order not to hurt the baby. Now I hear nothing of this crohns disease, back then she said she thought she had cancer, because she was always throwing up blood. I didn’t believe her because she would go to the hospital, they wouldn’t find anything wrong and would send her home. She tells some tall tales, but nothing like this. I’m worried sick about her. My whole family is.

Ive been having ALOT of pain in my right breast for the past few days, anyone know what could cause this? There is no chance of pregnancy and i do not hurt like this when i have my period. I’m scared…….. does the beginning stage of breast cancer hurt?

What is the life expectancy for someone with stage IV breast cancer, age is early 60′s. They’ve decided to only treat it with hormones (anti-estrogen) because of how far it’s spread.

I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer (Dec "09) and attended a 2 hour class on how to apply make-up and wear hairpieces and scarves. Of the 8 women who attended I saw many donated make-up brands from Maybelline to Chanel. Since I myself have only started wearing anything on my face (foundations and powder) in my mid 50′s……….I love my bare minerals! But very sad to see no donated product of yours. Was it just on off day? Kathleen Borba
