Breast Cancer - It's All About Soul Isn't It
If you love great music with a soulful twist then take a look at - and a listen to this.Anders Holst -jazz singer - was so moved by the effect that breast cancer had on two of his friends that he has decided to devote a whole month of his life to supporting breast cancer charity.
During the entire month of March 09 he will work to support Susan G. Komen For The Cure ®.
He is using his music, to raise funds for the advancement of breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment and any money raised will be devoted to projects trying to eradicate breast cancer as a life threatening disease.
Anders has recorded a song called “All About Soul” - a jazzy take on the Billy Joel original and all proceeds from sales downloaded from itunes will be devoted to the Susan Komen fund.
His style has been likened to Sting, Seal, Leonard Cohen, Boz Scaggs, Bryan Ferry, and Robert Palmer. His latest album, Romantika, was released at the end of January, and has been praised by the likes of Billboard Magazine, Quincy Jones, Jazziz, and SmoothJazz.com.

I am happy to do my part: I am a breast cancer surgeon and Founder of the Breast Health and Healing Foundation. (see breasthealthandhealing.org)
I have posted the news on twitter (Dr. Kathleen Ruddy) and I will post a blog today as well.
Best of luck. Be sure to check my blog history of lots of good advice about preventing breast cancer recurrence.

That's a good song you got abotu breast cancer. It is now more common to women who are at age 40 and above, and I think many of them died because of the tumor rising to their breast. It's better to have a regular check up to detect it earlier. Thanks for the article.
I think this is a very good thing. I will be sure to check out iTunes for this.
The current study analyzed data from the 2000 and 2005 National Health Interview Surveys, both of which included supplementary questions assessing cancer control. More than 35,000 women participating in those surveys did not have a personal history of breast or ovarian cancer, and around 1 percent of them were determined to be at high risk because a mother, sister, or daughter had such a tumor. Among these high-risk women, about half were aware that genetic testing was available
