For Every Door He Closes...

Somewhere, God opens a window. That is one of the many lessons we take from Sound of Music, at any rate, and so we are not terribly shocked to hear that if you suffer from the Devil's grip (and here we're referring to migraines), at least you are at a significantly decreased risk for breast cancer. Apart from the connection granted by the grace of God, the link between migraines and breast cancer turns out to be somewhat more substantive than the average non-scientist might guess; both conditions are related to estrogen levels. The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, over in South Lake Union, released the study this week. God and Fred Hutch ask you to please, migraines or no, keep getting those yearly mammograms if you're over the age of 40 and have boobs.
