There are alternative therapies with less horrid side effects being developed, the more advanced of them use antibodies that bind to cancer cells to deliver targeted chemo or radio therapy and reduce side effects. I'm sure they would deliver vitamin C instead if it worked.Last edited by doodab; 14 May 2013, 22:18.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you.

Following her double mastectomy, Angelina and husband Brad have announced they will be ditching their normal title.
From now on they'll be the Pitts with no Tits.
and
What's the difference between a belt and a bra?
Not a lot if you're Angelina Jolie.

OK, 87% chance of getting cancer. That (as far as I know) doesn't translate to an 87% chance of death. There's still chemo etc isn't there?
Seems a rather drastic tactic to take.
Sadly.
I've been recommended to have this test this year, and if I have the gene I would do the same as AJ and lots of other women. I don't want to go through what other women in my family have.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

Well epi can make that choice for him/her (but I bet it's a him) self then. Maybe he could have unprotected sex with an HIV-positive man - even though there's a high chance of getting infected, there's no guarantee he'll get AIDS.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
