As You all Know that October is coming to the end of the month and although October is the month of Breast Cancer Awareness but this is not ending. Care and awareness should always be at all times, early detection is a better recovery and to cure will stand a much higher chance before is is too late.

We should always take care of our Beauty and Health, To Stay Healthy is To Stay Beautiful..
These programs of Awareness gives us a gentle reminder. A well-balanced meal, quality sleep and exercise to work our body to keep them fit is not only very important but to live our life Wonderful too!

October is the Month: Breast Cancer Awareness, an important month for all women.

Is to remind all women of the importance of doing Breast Self Examination (BCE) regularly and It is also to remind if you are in 40 years old and above require to have a mammogram check annually especially the age range 55- 59 has the highest rate in women detected breast cancers in which there are many women who already suffered from breast cancer. If early detection would have taken place , it is possible and a sure way to help those sufferers.

Protection through early detection will have better treatment options and better chance of recovery. As no one exactly knows the exact causes of breast cancer. Doctors do know that bumping, bruising or touching does not cause cancer and breast cancer is not contagious that another person can “catch it”. Doctors often cannot explain why one woman develops breast cancer.

Apart from screening, It is also important to be aware of the possible signs. Therefore, regulars self check by doing Breast Self Examination (BCE) is important and require in detect signs and symptoms.

Symptoms

Common symptoms of Breast Cancer Include:

A change in how the breast or nipple FEELS

A lump or thickening in or near the breast

A lump or thickening in or near the underarm area

Nipple tenderness

A Change in how the breast or nipple LOOKS

Change in size or shape

nipple turned inward

ridges or pitting that looks like the skin of an orange

around the breast, areola or nipple may be scaly, red or swollen

Discharge fluid

In any case, any of these symptoms should see the doctors for further diagnose. As Early breast cancer usually does not cause pain and any other symptom that does not go away.
Therefore, Breast Cancer Awareness is important Month for all women as a reminder to prevent more women from suffering and also the awareness of Health Wellness.

To A Beautiful and Healthier Life…

My mom’s going to have a mammogram done soon and what I assume will be a biopsy.
If it turns out to be breast cancer, should I take extra precautions since I will have had confirmed family history?

Just curious.
I’m 18 and my mom’s 46. I’m not sure about how often mammograms are necessary, honestly. My mom’s had one since I was little and I thought that was normal, just to have one.

Breast thermography is a new, non-invasive imaging procedure that utilizes infrared heat-sensing technology to detect metabolic changes in the breast. Abnormalities can be detected long before a tumor is present. Because researchers are acknowledging the importance of prevention and early detection as the keys to long term breast health, breast thermography is fast becoming an important diagnostic test to add to health care regimens.

To perform breast thermography, a special camera equipped with heat-sensing, or infrared, technology takes pictures of the breasts and the images are sent to a computer. Multiple images are taken from several different angles in order to provide a three-dimensional result. These images are digitally processed by sophisticated equipment to create a detailed thermal map.

Because each individual has a unique ‘thermal fingerprint,’ the images help your doctor to establish the normal thermal state of your breasts. That way, if a change occurs, a diagnosis can be determined quickly. The images reveal to the doctor whether the two breasts have the same temperature patterns and whether any areas differ from one breast to the other. Abnormalities on the infrared images, including changes in temperature, blood flow, hormone levels, or metabolic activity, may indicate current or potential tumor growth. The necessary diagnostic steps are then taken to determine the nature of the abnormalities.

During a mammogram, the estimated compression weight on the breast, which can be uncomfortable and sometimes painful, can be several pounds to over forty pounds. In addition, radiation collects in the breast tissue during mammograms; the more radiation the breast is exposed to, the higher the risk of cancer. Unlike mammograms, thermography does not require compression of the breasts nor does the infrared scanning process involve radiation or contact with the body.

Mammograms can only detect tumors that have already developed. In comparison, breast thermography provides images of physiological changes in the breasts that could cause future tumor growth. One such abnormal thermal pattern, estrogen dominance, can be a precursor to breast cancer. If estrogen dominance is found, hormonal levels can be balanced using natural means; thereby, preventing cancer. Breast thermography can also detect small growths – those too small to be visible on mammogram or ultrasound – because these tiny masses radiate heat.

Breast thermography provides important, relevant, and necessary information about your health without exposure to radiation. This diagnostic test, which compliments clinical examination and mammography, should be added to your health care regimen. Prevention and early detection are the keys to long term breast and whole body health. By providing essential information early, breast thermography can save your life.

bmxskater5544 asked:


My girlfriend thinks she might have breast cancer. She was sent for testing and is now taking injections which we believe to be chemotherapy. Her parents refuse to tell her if she has been diagnosed with cancer or not, which is terrible, but i can’t do anything about that. She’s only 14. Are her chances of survival better if she’s young like this? What are her chances of surviving and living out her life and dying naturally (not from cancer)? Is there anything she can do to help stop it other than do what her doctor says with taking injections and medication? I’m really scared for her.
