I am unemployed and cannot afford health insurance so for anyone like me it is impossible to be healthy and get checkups let alone have yearly physicals. I have signed up for cervical and breast exams that are paid for back in November and called on it and they told me that I probably would get in for the exams in May. If I have cancer it would spread I am sure before they would detect it. So being in my situation it is totally impossible to get any health care because no one really cares!! But that is the way of this world..you can't afford to live and you can't afford to die!

Great list but i'd like to add, many health professionals will tell you cancer does not hurt That is incorrect information and prob going to cost me my life right now.
Inflamatory breast cancer does have symptoms of pain and also severe itchyness (sp)
especialy people who have been treated for cancer in the past need to bone up on inflamatory breast cancer so they catch it early. its difficult to find balance between being paranoid and whats real, but please read about it.
