From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
During chemo, I felt really sorry for all my healthy cells - after all, they hadn't done anything bad - while cancer cells were being broken by the drugs, so were my good cells. We were all suffering together. When was somebody going to come up with a way to affect the cancer without bothering the rest of me?

Smart Bomb Works on Breast Cancer
Scientists have been working on ways to get chemo drugs to bypass your healthy cells and go kill off the cancer cells only. For this, the drugs have to act like 'smart bombs' - able to distinguish between good and bad cells, then infiltrate the bad cells and take them out. Well, they are closing in on 'smart bomb' drugs right now!

Hot Flash Nighwear That Keeps You Cool
During summer, my hot flashes get worse. Hot rooms, hot food, hot showers, and hot drinks bring on the sudden sweats very easily. At night, I usually throw off all covers and hope for the best. Then I discovered wicking sleepwear. It really helps with night sweats and feels great. I've compared 4 brands for you.
