When we do go through issues, it can weaken our emotional reaction to doing, thinking, or handling things....

Spreading the Word Battling breast cancer is no easy feat; every fighter and survivor is to be admired and the sooner the cancer is detected, the better the prognosis. There is no such thing as starting a self breast exam too early or visiting the doctor to get it done if you are uncertain how to do it or need to be educated.
