Conversations with Aunt Emmy

The show is improving and people are making lots of positive comments.  I like doing it and I am feeling more comfortable as well.  I like it because I know the information is useful and can make a huge difference in the way patients engage with their treating providers.
People are reminding each other to call for results when they go to the doctor and are learning a lot.  One listener suggests that we actually  talk about what exercises can be done  when one gets up from the  desk to stretch.
We discussed at least five things you ought to know about breast health- they change as you age. Mammograms are not done on women in their twenties  because  at that age  the breast  tissue is too dense .  This does not allow for accurate interpretation by mammography.
Does wearing and underwire bra    or using deodorant cause breast cancer? That is a myth along with several  others.
Visit www.blogtalkradio.com/auntemmy and listen at your convenience to all the great information on Conversations with Aunt Emmy.  Remember if you or someone you love is ever diagnosed with breast cancer and needs chemotherapy and other treatment, The Little Pink Purse of Courage is there with all the questions you need to ask your medical oncologist when you have your first visit.
