collected on Lifetimetv.com, the network continues to add to this
largest petition drive ever and deliver these voices to Congress to
urge them to pass the bipartisan Breast Cancer Protection Act of 2007.

where women are sometimes forced to leave the hospital within hours
following their surgeries even if they and their doctors feel they are
not ready to go home.
