I got into this GIS & health business because of my neighbor across the street with breast cancer; knowing I was an epidemiologist, asked a question about whether our neighborhood had a higher incidence of breast cancer than elsewhere. At the time I could not answer. Now I can. But she is gone. The answer is that in our census tract, the incidence is lower than for the rest of the county or state. Seems any citizen should be able to ask this question and get a straight answer. Any woman in our community should be able to get a mammogram and know most anything else that is going on in her/his community that potentially impacts their health and safety. I do not know anything about this breast cancer website http://www.thebreastcancersite.com but the appeal seems harmless and potentially helpful. Best regards to all of you, Richard E.

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing. Click on the site today ( http://www.thebreastcancersite.com ), as often as you can every day. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising. PLEASE pass it along to people you know. ------=_NextPart_000_0153_01C39972.89F34990 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message
