From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
Andrea Mitchell has covered news ranging from congressional hearings to nuclear plant disasters. She has interviewed presidents and political candidates. Recently, she announced some personal news about her health - Mitchell has become a breast cancer patient.

Andrea Mitchell, NBC News Anchor, Announces Her Breast Cancer
Mitchell is no stranger to controversy, and has made public apologies when needed. After calling the citizens of a small town in Virgina "rednecks" she admitted, "when I make a mistake, it's a beaut." This time, the media furor is not about her diagnosis, but about some statements she made about detection, treatment, and cure rates for breast cancer. Should she get slammed for making these statements? Tell me what you think.

Annual Ultrasounds Instead of Annual Mammograms?
Mitchell's cancer was found with a screening mammogram. Many women don't like the pain of the squeeze that those cold, hard mammogram paddles give us. So why don't we have annual ultrasounds instead of mammograms? Well, it turns out that those two types of screenings don't really do the same thing.

Emotions and Your Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Anyone, male or female, who is diagnosed with breast cancer, is going to have some emotional surges to deal with. Please don't go through those stormy times alone - many of us have been there, and can lend our support.
