Breast Cancer

[mhoppman]

I'm working on a research project for a college class and I need interview participants on the subject of breast cancer Please be honest with your answers as this is a very sensitive subject to discuss.

1. What is your age?
2. Do you follow the recommended prevention tips against breast cancer?
3. Why or why not?
4. Do you know of anyone personally that has been affected by this disease?
5. Do you know how to properly perform a self breast exam?

Thanks for your participation.
