Hi Lori & MK Just wanted to put my 2cents in, I cant believe that they would say that small amount of alcohol could cause breast cancer, first they tell us that a small amount is good for us and then...

Hi Sniper Just my 2 cents worth but if I had it to do all over I would have had the mastectomy to start with. I had a lumpectomy, chemo and then radiation only to have it come back 1 1/2 years later....
