Issues, Buckingham 2004) ‘…every single

2004 newsletter contains a special report on ‘Breast Cancer: when its not cancer at all’. “A growing number of
experts believe that the advent of breast cancer screening has created a
problem where none may actually exist, labelling many conditions as cancer
which aren’t serious or life-threatening.
The astonishing fact is that fully half of all cases of so-called breast
cancer might not be cancer at all, but a harmless abnormality that will never
progress to cancer.” If you have been diagnosed with DCIS breast
cancer, get hold of this report from WDDTY: tel 0870 444 9886 and www.wddty.com
