		<description>&lt;b&gt;What's a website with cheap rubber band message bracelets?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm trying to help fundraise for a friend in need. I've been looking for a website that sells cheap rubber band bracelets. All I've found are the ones like the LIVESTRONG bracelets but I'm looking for real rubber band bracelets with letters printed on them. Anybody know of a good, cheap website that sells those?

		<description>Bio Oil and Strivectin SD are both very popular.  I like Mederma.  There is also something new called Prevage for body, but it is so new that I don't know anyone who has used it long enough to say how effective it is.

http://www.bio-oil.com/en/stretch_marks/index.html
http://www.mederma.com/aboutMederma.html

What every you choose, you will have to use it several times a day for a long time in order to see results and it is possible that nothing topical will work for you.  Then your best alternative might be Laser therapy

		<description>Causes &#38; Symptoms of Breast Cancer-

Changes in the breast that may indicate breast cancer include:

- lump or thickening in breast or armpit
- changes in a nipple (thickening, pulling in, bleeding, or 
discharge)
- dimpled or reddened skin over the breast
- change in size or shape
- abnormality on a mammogram-

There are a number of risk factors for the development of breast cancer, including:

- family history of breast cancer in mother or sister
- early onset of menstruation and late menopause
- reproductive history (women who had no children or have children late in life and women who have never breastfed have increased risk)
- history of abnormal breast biopsies

However, more than 70% of women who get breast cancer have no known risk factors. While a breast cancer gene was discovered in 1994, only about 5% of breast cancers are believed to be related to the gene.

In addition, some studies suggest that high fat diets, bottle feeding instead of breastfeeding, or consuming alcohol may contribute to the risk profile. Other aspects of nutrition and lifestyle in Western countries may be responsible for higher rates of breast cancer in our societies. For example, aromatic hydrocarbons in tobacco and certain hydrocarbons in well-done meat may act as carcinogens. While some studies had suggested a link between hormone replacement therapies (HRTs) contributing to breast cancer, many did not take them seriously. However, a landmark study released in 2003 proved the risk was greater than thought. The Women's Health Initiative found that even relatively short-term use of estrogen plus progestin is associated with increased risk of breast cancer, diagnosis at a more advanced stage of the disease, and a higher number of abnormal mammograms. The longer a woman used HRT, the more her risk increased.

It is important to realize that not all lumps detected in the breast are cancerous. Many are benign and require only the removal of the lump. While having several risk factors may boost a woman's chances of having breast cancer, the interplay of factors is complex. The best way to assess breast cancer risk is by doing monthly self examinations to detect any lump at an early stage. The second is to have a regular mammogram, an x ray of the front and side of the breast that will detect cysts or tumors at the earliest possible stage. Seeking risk assessment consultation at one of the many breast cancer centers located throughout the United States is also helpful. 

PLEASE TAKE HER TO A ONCOLOGIST FOR EXTERNAL CHECK UP AND TO DO FURTHER EXAMINATION IF NEEDED.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;http://www.answers.com/library/encyclope...</description>

		<description>16 y/o's don't normally get breast cancer.  It is most likely an enlarged or distended vein near the surface of her skin.  If she is really worried about this, she needs to see her family doctor.  He will most likely just explain the same thing to her, but coming from him, she will feel better.

This would be a good time to learn how to do a monthly breast self-exam.  I'm sure you can find this, as well as the other symptoms of breast cancer on the net.  What you're looking for is lumps or changes in the texture of the skin, not color changes.  This way, you become acquainted with the normal feel of your breasts  and are much more likely to notice anything new or abnormal.  Good luck to your friend.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
