Hi PJ, you did a great job at NPR!!  I also have to commend you for handling all the posts you got with great poise and intelligence.  We are all going to have different opinions on this recommendation, lets just hope that we continue to move forward and not backwards with research and early detection of Breast Cancer.

 

Thanks to Anjali and PJ for this!!
