Celebrating Women - 18 March 2004

I'd been meaning to display this earlier during Women's History Month; hope it works:


It's from the Breast Cancer Site, so in case the direct button doesn't work you can go there and click it.

The 4th European Breast Cancer Conference has been going on this week in Hamburg, and today a leading South African cancer doctor, Professor Justus Apffelstaedt, has attacked his country's government for wasting money on "luxuries" such as defence while failing to implement a basic breast screening policy that could prevent many women dying from cancer. My kind of guy, who correctly characterizes "investment in such major war machinery" as a luxury when put ahead of women's basic health needs.

Here are some worthwhile breast cancer informational sites:
