Like I have said before - Support 'em if you got 'em. Let me tell you I think the Enell Sports Bra is going to keep your girls in line. The bras were designed specifically for large breasted women to enable them to workout and play sports comfortably.

Drug Approvals
- In September 2007, Evista (raloxifene) was approved for prevention of breast cancer in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, and postmenopausal women at high risk for invasive breast cancer. Raloxifene and tamoxifen are the only two drugs approved for breast cancer prevention in high-risk women.

- In November 2006, trastuzumab (Herceptin) was approved for treatment of early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. Trastuzumab is also approved for advanced HER2-positive breast cancer.
Screening
- The American College of Physicians’ 2007 guidelines recommend that women with a low risk for breast cancer talk to their doctor before starting to have mammogram screening at age 40.

It is rare when a women specific exercise issue makes the news, but my reaction to the story that even gentle exercise causes breast pain in the majority of womens was - duh! I could have told you that. It is cool though that someone is researching this and the outcome will hopefully be better bras, since running outside is tough enough on its own.

Mommy Dearest,
I have a delicate situation that I'm not sure how to approach. Our nanny, whom we love, occasionally wears questionable clothing to the house. She is very professional about everything else, but her wardrobe has left me speechless lately.
