Natural sunlight’s potential to harm you has really been blown out of proportion by doctors, corporations, advertisements, beauty experts, and health officials. You have probably heard these people say that you need to stay out of the sun because the sun can kill you. This simply isn’t true.

First of all there is not any scientific evidence whatsoever to prove that any type of sunscreen prevents skin cancer, or that the sun causes skin cancer, or why you should avoid the sun. Avoiding the sun just doesn’t make sense. People that live in island nations, such as the Philippines, don’t have any sunscreen and are in the hot sun everyday, yet there has not been one single case of skin cancer. The same is true for many countries in Africa where people don’t have access to any commercial sunscreens.

From relative obscurity, breast cancer has become one of the leading causes of deaths among women in the world. In 2001, about 200,000 cases of breast cancer have been reported in the United States, making it the second leading cause of cancer death in the US.

Sure, there’s reconstruction, but will it ever really look the same again? Even if you have reconstruction, you’ll never have sensation there again and, for many of us, that definitely affects our sexuality. I went through two separate mastectomies, for my breast cancer, despite the fact that I wanted them both done at the same time. Two different surgeons told me that wasn’t necessary. They found out, later, that it was, as I had the same breast cancer in both breasts. Through these surgeries, I learned a few things about what to expect, and how to get up and running again, after a mastectomy for breast cancer.
