Breast
Care Info
Breast reduction is called Mammoplasty.
A
cosmetic
breast lift is called a Mastopexy.
The breasts attract many diseases
because they contain several glands through which hormones flow as well as fat
which absorbs toxins. Besides breast
cancer, there could be nipple discharges, soreness, inverted nipples, nipple
dermatitis, itchiness, rash, pain, cyst, etc.
Although it's not conclusive,
electromagnetic waves from electronic gadgets could cause damage so don't keep
electronic gadgets near your breasts for long periods of time like a cellular
phone.
There are many breast symptoms like
breast pain, lumps, cysts, nipple discharge and fibrocystic breast disease
which don't necessarily lead to breast cancer.
Because estrogen stimulates the growth of cancerous tumors, the
recommended lifestyle is to eat high fiber and soy foods because they help rid
the body of excess estrogen.
The usual tests are mammography,
ultrasound and breast biopsy where they take a little piece out and examine
it. Because the people who read
mammograms can make mistakes, it's a good idea to either pick a highly
reputable testing center or get a few different tests done.
Macromastia is a genetic condition
where women grow breasts that are too big to be comfortable. You can get a breast reduction for it.
The anti-abortion drug Ru-486 can
shrink brain, breast and ovarian tumors.
I-find is a handheld device that
uses infrared to help you monitor yourself for breast cancer.

Breast Pain/ Mastalgia/ Mastodynia/ Breast Tenderness
Breast
pain is may happen before the flow of menstruation
begins. Occasional breast pain shouldn't
be a problem. If it's sustained, see a
doctor.
Mastalgia is generally classified
as either cyclical meaning that it's associated with menstrual periods or
noncyclic, it happens anytime.

Chapter 2. Breast Cancer Guide
Breast Cancer Info
You can find books about cancer in
#616.8 section
of your library. There are also books in
the #362.1 section on how to deal with cancer.
The general reasoning behind breast
cancer is that poisonous, toxic cells may lodge there and grow based on the
amount of estrogen the woman is producing since estrogen tends to cluster in
the breast area making everything grow even the poisonous cells.
Breast cancer is the most common
form of cancer in women in the U.S. If
it's detected early, breast cancer can be treated to stop it from spreading and
eradicate it.
There are risk factors associated
with breast cancer:
age
early menstrual periods
family history of breast cancer
gender
late menopause
not having had children
Breast cancer symptoms are usually
detectable because of symptoms like lumps, nipple discharge and changes in the
shape of the breast.
Women should perform a breast
self-exam every month as a way to check for changes in their breasts that may
be signs of breast cancer.
Look at your breasts. Has their size, shape, or texture changed
since your last breast exam? If
something is noticeably different, see a doctor to get it checked out.
Feel your breasts for lumps or a
thickening of the breast tissue. Use the
fingers of one hand to feel the opposite breast, with the close hand behind
your head. Put your fingers in a
circle. Press in then turn a bit to feel
for lumps. Cover all areas. Go right up to the underarm.
Squeeze each nipple to check for
discharge. There shouldn't be any.
Try the breast exam both lying down
and standing up.
If you do find a lump or a change
in your breast, go to a doctor.
In addition to the manual breast
exam, women over age 45 should get a mammogram every year or two.
A mammogram is an x-ray of the
breast that shows lumps. If a lump is
found then you go to a doctor who takes a little bit of it out (called a
biopsy) and does a test to determine if it's cancerous.
If a woman has a cancerous breast
lump, there are a variety of treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, lumpectomy
(surgical removal of the lump and surrounding cells) or a mastectomy (surgical
removal of the entire breast).
Some studies have concluded that
use of birth control pills could increase the chances of getting breast
cancer. The American Cancer Society
provides free materials on breast self examination. The general procedure is to look at your
breasts in a mirror while standing up, arms outstretched then at the
sides.
Next, laying down, start at the
outer end of each breast, move in one inch with each circular motion feeling
for lumps or any abnormalities. Squeeze
the nipple to see if there's any discharge.
People die from breast cancer. If
there are any irregularities, go to a doctor immediately.
The classification procedure is
three pronged, called TNM:
Tumor size.
Node involvement.
Metastasis.
Ask your doctor about your
status. Many people survive breast
cancer so don't despair.
Many lumps in the breasts are
harmless/ benign. They may be enlarged
lymph nodes or cysts (lumps of fluid) which are not cancerous. a fibroadenoma
is a common, benign lump of connective tissue.
Don't immediately panic when you feel lumps. Get a mammography.
A diet high in fruits and
vegetables cuts the risk of breast cancer in half. The fatter you are, the more your body
produces and absorbs Estrogen which is a catalyst for breast cancer. Red meat is bad. All processed foods are bad. Fish is good.
Whole wheat products are good.
Soy products and olive oil have
been linked to reducing the incidence of breast cancer. A little bit of red wine helps cut the
incidence of breast cancer and heart disease but too much increases the
risk. Sweet potatoes and strawberries
are good. Exercise helps. Give yourself regular breast exams.
A drug approved by the FDA, Tamofaxen
(brand name Nolvadex), helps to reduce breast cancer by 50% although it has
side effects. It blocks cancerous female
hormones from attaching to breast cells.
Another drug is Raloxifene (brand name Evista) which is commonly used to
treat osteoporosis.
A big alternative treatment and
preventive measure for breast cancer is the use of soy products in your
diet. Soy foods create substances which
attach to the receptors in your breasts that carcinogens would otherwise attach
to.
A Masectomy is the removal of
breast tissue due to cancer. A
Lumpectomy is less invasive. Plastic
surgeons are able to do breast reconstructions.
Other treatments are radiation, chemotherapy and hormone therapy.
A Lymphedema involves the removal
of the lymph nodes during a masectomy.
Mammogram/ Mammography Tests For Breast Cancer
A mammogram is a safe,
low-dose x-ray picture of the
breast. A mammogram can find breast
cancer that is too small for you, your doctor or nurse to feel during regular
physical breast exams. If you find
breast cancer early, it is easier to treat.
Mammograms work on older,
menopausal women better because the breast is fatter then and you can see
tumors better than on young women so mammograms aren't that effective on young
women. Feel your breasts yourself and
find another method.
About half of all new cases of
breast cancer are in women aged 65 and older but two out of three women aged 65
and older do not get regular mammograms.
The risk of getting breast cancer increases as you grow older. Women with dense breasts should ask about
getting an ultrasound in addition to the mammogram which could miss a tumor if
there is one.
Cancer can show up at any time so
one mammogram is not enough. A screening
mammogram is done when you and your doctor think your breasts are completely
healthy.
It is important to return for a
screening mammogram every two years if you are 65 or older. If you find a lump or see other changes in
your breasts, see your doctor right away.
To do the mammogram, you'll stand
in front of a machine. The person who
takes the x-rays will place your breast between two plastic plates. The plates will press your breast and make it
flat. You will have x-rays taken of one
breast at a time. It takes only a few
seconds to get a breast x-ray.
You can get a mammogram at
hospitals, clinics, imaging x-ray centers and mobile units. To lawfully perform either screening or
diagnostic mammograms, a facility must be certified by the FDA and must display
its FDA certificate. If it doesn't, it's
a sham operation.
Medicare covers screening
mammograms for the early detection of breast cancer. You do not need a doctor's order to get a
screening mammogram. For women aged 65
and older, Medicare covers one screening mammogram every two years.
For women who are younger than age
65 and are covered by Medicare, the age and risk of the patient determine how
often screening mammograms should be done.
Medicare does not cover screenings
for women under age 35. Medicare covers
diagnostic mammograms when you show any signs of breast disease. If you are on Medicare, diagnostic mammograms
are covered when your doctor orders them, no matter what your age.
Assuming you have met your Medicare
Part B deductible, your out of pocket cost should be less than $25. If you have supplemental insurance such as a
Medigap policy or Medicaid, you may have no out of pocket costs.
If you belong to an HMO, the only
cost to you is your plan's copayment which should be $10 or less.
An alternative to mammography is
Thermal Imaging/ Infrared Imaging which finds the heat caused by the increased
blood vessels leading to tumors. There
are also Digital Mammograms, Ultrasound and MRIs.
A company called Biofield is using
electrical patches put on the breast to test for lesions without needing any
radiation. For safety sake, get both a
mammogram and another type of test done.
There are now possible new tests
like a breath test.

Masectomy/ Surgical Removal of the Breast
Mastectomy is the medical term
for the surgical removal
of one or both breasts, either partially or completely. A masectomy is often done to get rid of
breast cancer.
A Masectomy is the removal of
breast tissue due to cancer. A
Lumpectomy is less invasive. Plastic
surgeons are able to do breast reconstructions.
Other treatments are radiation, chemotherapy and hormone therapy.
A Lymphedema involves the removal
of the lymph nodes during a masectomy.
After a masectomy, a woman (or a
man in some cases) can get a breast reconstruction by a cosmetic surgeon if
they can afford it or wear prosthetic devices (falsies).
Before you get a masectomy, you
should get a second opinion both to verify your breast cancer and to determine
if it's big enough to waarant a masectomy.
There have been medical malpractice cases filed by women who have gotten
masectomies who didn't really need them.
There are several different types
of mastectomy like a simple masectomy, a radical masectomy, a segmental
resection, a partial masectomy, a double masectomy or a lumpectomy.

Breast Reconstruction Info
You get a breast or both
reconstructed after you lose
it through surgery to remove breast cancer.
The surgery is called a masectomy.
The breasts are rebuilt using autologous tissue or prosthetic material
to construct a natural-looking breast.
Some cosmetic surgeons do this,
some don't. it's not the same as breast
implants. It requires more expertise.

Cervical
Cancer Websites
Cervical
cancer accounts for about six percent of all
cancers in women. Cancerous cells develop in the uterine cervix, the connecting
passage between the uterus and vagina.
The
human papillomaviruses (HPV) cause most cervical cancers.
The
peak ages of cervical cancer is between 33 to 40 but young women can get it
too.
Pap
smear tests may detect abnormal cells in the cervical tissues before cancer
develops.
Symptoms
of cervical cancer may include:
vaginal
bleeding.

Endometrial cancer is a situation
where the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus/ womb, is toxic.
It is the most common gynecological cancer.
It makes up about fifteen percent of all cancers in women.
A risk factor is estrogen-replacement therapy. Estrogen replacement
therapy lowers the risk of heart disease so it’s a trade-off.
Symptoms can be:
pelvic pain
bloody discharge

Gestational
Trophoblastic Tumor Websites
Gestational trophoblastic tumors (GTT) are rare cancers where
abnormal cells grow in the uterus after the mother gives birth.
Most
GTTs are benign and do not spread.
Some
types can become malignant and spread.
The
main types of gestational trophoblastic tumors are:
hydatidiform
mole/ molar pregnancy; the sperm and egg have joined but the tissues develop
into a cyst
choriocarcinoma,
begins from a hydatidiform mole or from the remains in the uterus after a baby
is born.
placental-site
trophoblastic disease, the area of the uterus where the placenta was
attached.
