Research looks at how to better fight breast cancer in African-American women (630 hits)

Interesting read from the Chicago Sun Times...

Researchers studying genetics and response to medication

It is well documented that African-American women with breast cancer are more likely to have a more aggressive type of the disease that kills them, but why remains a mystery.

As a child I asked my grandmother(God rest her soul), Why Black people seem to die right away after they were told that they had cancer. She said that cancer was a man made disease and if the doctor tells you that you have it you should tell him that he also has it, Then he will look for another less serious disease to pronounce on you.(LOL)

Dr. Nina, I also found the research on women who breast feed have less breast cancer also facinating.(smile)
