Re: Mammograms

Male breast cancer is not that uncommon either so men should check themselves too. Sadly the rate of men dying is higher these days than women because we get mammograms and men have no routine checks at all.

Have you ever made an icing bag out of baking paper? You haven't! Well, if I was responsible for making those new machine bit, that's how I'd make the cones work - a truly one-size-fits-all attachment
