North Texas women get breast cancer at higher rate than other regions of state: http://www.star-telegram.com/2010/03/16 ... n.html#tvg#ixzz0iPTXX33G

According to the story, it sounds like that is a good thing if I'm reading it right. The reason why they have a higher rate is because a larger percentage of women are getting mammograms and they are catching it earlier. But wouldn't the other parts of the state catch it eventually? So isn't there something else that is causing an increased rate of breast cancer like an environmental factor? Also isn't part of the new health care reform law make health insurance plans cover mammograms and other preventive care?

Invasive breast cancer is on the rise in Denton County and five neighboring counties, even as the incidence rate for the disease is lower in the state and falling across the rest of the nation: http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/d ... 7df68.html

Hmm, wonder how much of the population growth has brought in those increasing stats from other areas?

Have we run out of current threads and need to dig up old ones now? I'm sure RK is good for a new battle over the evil of tanning salons or harmful emissions from heated gear oil vented from front and rear differentials of 4x4 trucks.

And you accuse ME of not sticking to the threads topic.

Such a light hearted subject to be diverting from.

and for the millionth time, please stop calling me names. It only makes me feel bad and you look desperate.
