61. Breast Cancer Legislation--USA One of nine women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Iam a breast cancer survivor and do not represent any organization. http://members.aol.com/BCLEGIS/

One of nine women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. In 1998 a breast cancer will be diagnosed every three minutes, and a woman will die from breast cancer every twelve minutes. In over seventy percent of these cases, the women have no known risk factors. This page is an attempt to keep people informed of pending legislation in the US Congress. I am a breast cancer survivor and do not represent any organization. As you read through the descriptions of the legislation you may notice duplication. For example, there are several bills addressing Medicare coverage of mammograms. Each of the bills has different approaches and ways of insuring adequate coverage. I don't endorse any specific bills. My aim is to get people involved in the legislative process and communicating with their elected representatives. I have provided links to Thomas (the Library of Congress site) to ensure the information is current. I'd also like to be able to link to information at the state level. So far I only know about a site for the state of California . If you know of any other sites, please let me know.

BREAST CANCER: COMMON REACTIONS OF CHILDREN AND HOW TO HELP Jane Brazy, MD and Mary Ircink, RN Although children may have a variety of reactions to learning that their parent has cancer, all studies confirm that it is better to tell the child than withhold information and it is better to tell sooner rather than later. When the child is not told, there is more anxiety and a more difficult adaptation later. It is important to provide the child with the amount of information that they want or need and at a level they can understand. In this article we will cover some of the common reactions of children and provide some guidelines for helping the child deal with this stressful time. Common Reactions Some of the most common reactions of children to their mother's cancer are fear and insecurity, anger, sadness, isolation, and curiosity FEAR Fears can take many forms: fear of death of their parent, fear because their parents have fear, fear of separation, fear cancer is contagious and that they will catch it, fear that they caused the cancer, fear that the life they know will change. Fear of death. Because our society frequently hides the diagnosis of cancer, often a child's or teen's only exposure to cancer is people who have died. Therefore cancer means death. This may be the first time that the possibility of death of someone close has ever become a consideration. They may sense your fear of death. A younger child may think death is near at hand, an older child may interpret therapies as only postponing death.

I am in contact with many women with this dreaded disease. Almost everyone at sometime in their life has been touched by the reality of breast cancer. I had a pure and spiritual inspiration for the breast cancer pin with the spiritual angel. The angel will watch over each of you. We are all in God's hands. Flowers fade and die but your angel pin will be with you to hold, love and carry you as you travel this road of life. The angel says "You will always have me". People love these pins because it gives the breast cancer survivors, patients, family members and friends, all who come in contact with this disease, HOPE and COURAGE. Feelings from Breast Cancer Survivors: "It is a great feeling to know that their are people like you that support this cause, and have the talent and ability to create a beautiful way to remember someone that was close to you." "Something so small can mean so much." "Life is precious." "God bless you and yours for what you give to so many." "The Angel pin is even prettier than the picture. I will be proud to wear it in memory of my beloved sister."
