Hard at work on an explanation of Einstein-Menstruation Syndrome (or why P&G's Always Pads (and tampons) are EMS-ing really bad these days).  Click here to see what MOLT has had to say about Einstein so far.

Things are a bit behind because someone I love had a mastectomy today.

I'm still trying to understand why they can't salvage the nerve endings, that is, perform a neurosurgical procedure at the same time they're doing the mastectomy (I want to say 'amputation,' but that's a word lacking the pink-ribbon seal of approval).   She says: "Because it only takes one cancer cell"  ~ and that's why they can't save the nipple-areola complex (NAC).  Click here to read more about the nerve endings in the breast.  And click here to read about hand surgery, which often involves neurosurgery.  Maybe a consortium of hand surgeons could figure out a way to perform a mastectomy while saving the NAC, without upping the risk of recurrence.
