NICOTINE PATCH SURVEY

Have you ever been diagnosed with Breast Cancer? AND have you EVER used nicotine Patches?
A new study is being conducted right here and right now, sparked after a recent debate, which had experts and scientists alike, argue ferociously and controversially over a womans’ claim that the nicotine patches she used some ten years previously had caused her breast cancer.
The woman claimed that the cancerous lumps located in both her breasts were in the same positions in which she put her nicotine patches all those years before.
Challenged about the location, the woman demonstrated her claim by showing where her hand went comfortably and said that she put them there because she wanted them to be just below her bra line and out of sight.
The women had three types of breast cancers with two of these in her left breast. She claimed that as she is right handed more patches were put on her left side.
Her results from biopsies, ultrasound scans and mammograms demonstrated the precise locations of her cancerous lumps, which backed up her claims.

If you have had breast cancer and have used nicotine patches and would like to participate in this simple survey please take a few moments and contact the researcher with basic details of when you used them and approximately how long you used them for. In particular did your lumps correspond at all to the places where you used these patches?

If a YES answer applies to the next two questions tell us how long ago you used the patches.

Is the incidence of breast cancer deaths declining?

Breast Cancer statistics in Australia does not show a decline, instead an increase in deaths is evident. I am working on getting the up to date (2007) stats. Stay tuned. In the meantime read what I think about My Political Breasts here

Breast cancer survivor

Helo and welcome to this blog site,
I am a breast cancer survivor and I have set up this blog page to interact with other breast cancer survivors. If you have a story to tell or a question to ask this is the place to do it.
I am 54 years old, was first diagnosed in 2004, have had a recurrance and this was thus followed by a double mastectomy, lymph node removal on both sides and chemotherapy.
I have done a whole heap of research since and have dedicated a web page to my journey. Please feel free to visit by clicking here….
