Boob Jobs and Breast Cancer
Written by: Noga Sachs
Thinking about getting a boob job? Whatever, don’t snap out that automatic, defensive “no!” we’ve all thought about it. Yes, I’m talking to you too, guys. I know you’ve considered texture, appearance, and bounce while taking a look at your lady, the lady on our cover, the lady you’d like to cover.
Boob jobs. Everyone has an opinion and everyone is curious. Well, curious you should be, because this is the month to celebrate boobs! Yes indeed, the whole city of Phoenix will be totally inaccessible this Sunday, October 11, 2009 with closed down streets and masses of people walking or running, toting their brightest pink apparel in support of breast cancer research through the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure 5k race. My first October in the valley, wearing a bib and ready to race, I even had a police officer pull me over just to give me directions to the start line! People here are serious about boobs.
Although we can’t thank breast cancer survivors for the increased breast implant surgery phenomenon we see so rampant throughout the Valley (80% for cosmetic reasons 20% breast reconstruction), we can thank breast implants for saving our precious chest treasures by decreasing risk of breast cancer by 50-60% (National Cancer Institute). Makes you think twice before making your comment about that fox passing by with DDs huh?
The truth is, breast cancer is no joke. Second only to lung cancer, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death to women in the US, affecting 1 in 35 women. Yuck. Thankfully though, the rate of survival has been increasing since 1990 due to increased screening and awareness. Males can also be affected by breast cancer, although less frequently, (American Cancer Association) so if you see changes in your chest, regardless of gender, be on the lookout and ask your doctor for instructions on how to cop a proper screening feel.

Right on Noga!! Well written, thanks for the info! :)
yeah, thought about boobs myself but as long as mine are fine I think Ill leave them alone :)on the other hand my aunt had breast cancer and decided not to get a boob job, so for her I guess one is better than none :)
Fascinating, I didn't know that they actually decreased breast cancer risk! Anyone know about the details of chemical makeup in breast implants/potential toxicity. From chatting with the Breast Cancer Foundation I know that there are a LOT of unknowns when it comes to synthetic chemicals and toxicity. Not just for breast implants, for everything.
People… they don’t write anymore - they blog. Instead of talking, they text, no punctuation, no grammar: LOL this and LMFAO that. You know, it just seems to me it’s a bunch of people pseudo-communicating with a bunch of other people at a proto-language that resembles more what cavemen used to speak than the King’s English.
That being said, I approve this article. Consider it stamped. No LOL or LMFAO. Nice work. And "precious chest treasures," that's a keeper! Keep this one writing!
Love the article! Thank you for keeping us informed!
Thanks for the awesome article! Its super important to keep up awareness levels.
Great article! I hope to see more from you soon.
Noga, thanks for this very interesting and informative article, we need to be made more aware of health issues and concerns that some in society may not be aware of. Keep writing those issues, looking forward to plenty more...God Bless...Kelly N.
