sweating cancer?

first of all, catherine, you are so hip. like, oh my blog, i almost lost it when i saw you'd created this. this is my first time blogging, and i think i'm in love with it. thoughts on the deodorant issue. you know i have hyperhidrosis? see link: http://www.sweathelp.org/English/ so i'm always using SUPER HEAVY DUTY deodorant and even a solution that is pretty much just aluminum chloride. and i'm putting it on, like, 3 or 4 times a week before bed. i definitely think this could affect me down the road...and that is frightening. but which is worse? the fear of sweating in my day-to-day social interactions? or cancer? no one could seriously justify something so superficial with an elevated risk of developing cancer??!!...but then again, look at the tanning beds or terrible diets...things women partake in to look better that eventually make take a toll on their health...just a thought.

yeah - no it is totally scary. What I think is even scarier is that the lymph node that your breast drains to is right under your arm pit, and of course that is what we cover in chemicals!! ahhh!
