Noticing changes in your breast contour? It could be nothing and at the same time it could be breast cancer, God forbid! But the only way to say is prompt medical check, if the doctor thinks it is cancer then early treatments will do you some good.
The constant research work on breast cancer has shown a strong link between high fatty foods and breast cancer. Countries with staple food based diets like Japan of the 1950s have recorded minimal occurrence of breast cancer. With this, I'm sure you will want to watch out for the fat content of your food.
I know many people say breast cancer is a death sentence. I know lots of people continue to die each and every day from the illness all over the world, but that doesn’t mean you too would die because you have now been diagnosed with breast cancer. What I will tell you is this – stay open! You just don’t know whether you will die. I don’t care if the doctors have told you that you will die – STAY OPEN!
Progesterone is known to help stabilize the level of other hormone present in your body. Stabilizing these hormonal balance can help prevent the development of breast cancer in your breast tissues. Progesterone can be gotten topically from progesterone containing creams.
Breast cancer treatments involve some pre treatment preparations. This preparation includes the dos and don’ts that your doctor advises after the diagnosis of breast cancer. A full adherence to this advice will help your breast cancer treatment yield a better result.
Small cells cancer is the type of breast cancer that characterized small tumor cells. These small cells develop rapidly and can spread pretty quickly over the breast and nearby regions. This has further emphasized the need for clinical breast cancer examination.
The chances of treating breast cancer in women are proportional to their age. Younger women can actually receive strong treatment and be able to live and overcome the side effects of such treatment, whereas the older ones may develop more complications from received treatments for breast cancer. The earlier breast cancer is detected the better the chances of treating it.
Breast cancer is usually characterized with changes in the size of the breast. However a drastic change in your breast size does not necessarily confirm the presence of cancer cells. If you notice differences in your breast size, it is advised that you seek medical attention to determine the cause.
Some women exercise denial of breast cancer as if they are exempted from having the disease. You must understand that no matter how you much you deny the disease, it won’t make it go away ones it is there. You have to start paying attention to advises and tips on how to prevent, cope with and treat breast cancer as nobody is actually exempted from the disease.
After breast cancer has been operated successfully, your doctor usually prescribe a form of follow up treatment to help you heal quickly. A proper adherence to this follow up treatment will not only guarantee quick recovery, but also reduce the chances of the breast cancer reoccurring.
A bad side effect of breast cancer treatment is the experiencing of a premature menopause. This makes the virginal dry, and sex more painful than fun. If you are experiencing this after your breast cancer treatment, you should see your doctor immediately and have him/her refer you to a sex related defect professional.
The size of your breast does not increase or reduce your chances of having breast cancer. The rumor that ladies with bigger breast are more prone to breast cancer cannot be more wrong. The size of your breast has totally nothing to do with the chances of having breast cancer. Do not be led into a state of paranoia by these rumors.
Lump in the armpit can be breast cancer. The breast cancer lumps do not have to be on or within the breast, it can be in the armpit too. So while examining yourself monthly, you should check your armpit as well for such lumps. But of course, note that sometimes, lumps in the armpit can be signs of pregnancy. Just ensure you get it examined by your doctor, if and when you discover any such lumps.
Breast cancer is usually associated with lumpy feel within the breast. But not all breast cancer is characterized by lumps. An example of non-lumpy breast cancer is the inflammatory breast cancer. However inflammatory breast cancer is not common thus a lot of people are not familiar with the disease, last year it only recorded about 3% of the total diagnosed breast cancer.
Vitamins and supplements can help you make up for lost nutrients that can help you prevent breast cancer. However you have to be careful when popping these pills as they may alter your hormonal balance and cause you breast cancer.
Pinpointing the exact cause of breast cancer is no longer a priority as it has been noted that different people's cancer is caused by different free radicals in the body. However some risk factors has been established like excessive amount of estrogen and alcohol contained in blood, too much fat deposit and also hormone therapy known to cause an imbalance in the body's hormonal balance. Taking note of these risk factors can help you steer clear of breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Awareness and Prevention Tips
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Men and women can take preventative steps for avoiding breast cancer and staying healthy. Essentials within your control, include:
? aerobic exercise 3-4 times a week
? maintaining a positive mental attitude
? breathwork and deepening body-awareness (yoga is great)
? expressing your feelings to keep your energy flowing
? eating healthy foods and taking the "right" supplements
? avoiding toxicity.
Some things to avoid:
? Any medication containing acetaminophen. Products such as Tylenol, Sudafid, Bromo seltzer,vicodin, and many others drive down the glutathione levels in the body. Glutathione is an essential antioxidant and detoxifier.
? Aspartame (not to be confused with aspertate) has been proven to cause cancer in rats. It is a common ingredients in many no-sugar products such as yogurt, ice cream, desserts and carbonated beverages. Splenda is also harmful.
? Toxins. Use toxin-free, organic products. Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly with soapy water to remove chemical residues. Better yet, buy only organic products and non-GMO (non-genetically modified) foods. Read labels (Veggies and fruit will have an 9 to indicate organic and an 8 for non-GMO).
? Active computer screens should be at least 18 inches away from your body. You need to be at least 36 inches from your active television screens.
Breast Self Exams are the number one method for detecting changes in breast health. Finding any symptoms does not mean you have cancer. Early detection means your survival, and thriver rate, is very high. Very high! It also means you have a broad range of alternative and complementary treatment options. So learn the signs.
No one knows your body as well as you do. That''s why it''s essential to exam your breasts at the same time every month - so you can detect any changes that might occur. When you do the self-exam, you are reassuring yourself that your body is still in great condition.
There are numerous websites that now offer instruction in self-exams. One I prefer is the Komen Foundation, (www.komen.org) which offers an interactive video you can watch on your home computer, while doing your exam.
Many women find it helpful to have a buddy to call each month to remind or be reminded to conduct the self-exam. It''s never to late to begin a good habit, so invite a Yoga buddy to be your breast health buddy now.
The signs to pay attention to include the following:
A lump, hard knot or thickening
Swelling, warmth
Redness or darkening
Change in size or shape
Dimpling or puckering of the skin
Rash
Itching or scaling, especially on the nipple
Pulling in of your nipple or other breast areas
Sudden discharge from the nipple
New pain in one spot
Some clients have reported one or more symptoms to their medical practitioners, and been told it''s "Nothing". That may be true. Often the lumps and rashes are not a sign of cancer. But they could be. Rely on your inner wisdom. It if feels "not right", then keep getting other opinions until you''re satisfied with the results. Thermography, Thermal imaging, a new form of breast cancer detection, is highly recommended as a non-invasive method which is available at some breast care centers in the US.
