Stronach battling breast cancer

by

Todays Star carries an article about Belinda Stronach and her diagnoses with breast cancer.

Stronach is in an undisclosed hospital in the Toronto area after undergoing a mastectomy and breast reconstruction on Tuesday. The type of cancer she has is known as DCIS – ductal carcinoma in situ – one of the more common and most treatable forms of breast cancer.

Her executive assistant, Greg MacEachern, did confirm the surgery to the Star and said he had spoken to Stronach yesterday, reporting that she is “upbeat and positive.” He added: “While her personal health is a private matter, she would like to emphasize the importance of early detection and is grateful they were able to catch the disease at this early point.”

Since April, Stronach has had a lumpectomy, ultrasound and a series of core biopsies, and it was after further consultation with doctors that she decided to undergo a full mastectomy this week. Chances of the cancer spreading or recurring are radically reduced when mastectomy is the chosen treatment, research has shown.

Stronach’s chances of recovery are also high, statistically speaking. Almost 90 per cent of those women who are diagnosed with breast cancer between the ages of 30 and 49 survive the disease.

I wish her a speedy and full recovery.

Are Tits breasts?

by

stripclubThe Breast Cancer Society of Canada doesn’t seem to think so.

BCSC turned down a donation of funds raised at a strip club event so as not to offend certain other donors.

How nice.

I wonder who else they won’t accept donations from?

Perhaps they have access to studies showing that strippers aren’t women. That they aren’t subject to the same chance of breast cancer as the rest of us.

They claim that they turned the money down because its major donors did not support a connection to exotic dancers.

Did the money have a money shot on it? What the hell?

I propose we send letters to the Breast Cancer Society of Canada which they can read at their leisure and then pass on to their major donors.

Included in this letter would be the definition of charity

To wit;
1. Provision of help or relief to the poor; almsgiving.
2. Something given to help the needy; alms.
3. An institution, organization, or fund established to help the needy.
4. Benevolence or generosity toward others or toward humanity.
5. Indulgence or forbearance in judging others.

And if that is too subtle maybe someone would take it upon themselves to mail a stripper pole or facsimile of with explicit instructions of where to place it.

But honey..housework is good for you!

I can see it now.

Women the world over smiling from ear to ear, gleefully singing while cleaning house, with rubber gloves stamped with little pink ribbons, pink ribbon stamped dust clothes, pink handled scrub brushes, happy in the knowledge they are saving their health.

Yes ladies break out the pumps and the pearls and the “mommy’s little helpers” cause it turns out that housework is good for you! [Read more…] about But honey..housework is good for you!
