Breast cancer is one of those illnesses that it pays to know at least as much about as your doctor does. There's always a new study, a conflicting report or an experimental treatment to consider. Take last week's carefully worded advice about two anticancer drugs sent to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by a panel of experts. If you don't pay close attention to the details, you could wind up doing yourself more harm than good...

"I was concerned about this confession from the start," says Cook County public guardian Patrick Murphy. "You're worried about kids this young saying anything. It's not like they were scared into--or coerced, or that the police said that the boogeyman is going to get you. They'd just say anything to get out of the room."
