<div style="text-align: justify;">
Women who are diagnosed and women who are not diagnosed with the killer disease, called <a href="http://breastcancerguide.weebly.com/useful-videos-on-breast-cancer.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>"Breast cancer"</b></span></a>, for all , I have some important and useful tips or you can call it as tricks which may help you to lie life cancer-free. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How does it feel to listen this word, <a href="http://www.breastcancer.org/questions/cancer_free" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>"Cancer - Free"!!!!!!!!!!!!!</b></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Life has many steps and each step that we go ahead is unknown. Pretty true that it is unpredictable. Many don't have the symptoms of cancer and yet they are been diagnosed with it. Some think that <b>"cancer leads to death"</b>. No. it is not like that. Actually, according to me, God has given you another opportunity to stay healthy and be fit. Physical fitness is the most important factor that really matters for these diseases. If you are not physically fit, then nothing can be achieved. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>There are many techniques that will help you overcome all the hurdles for living life cancer free. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>Diet</li>
<li>Daily Exercise</li>
<li>No stress</li>
<li><a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.com/2012/09/role-of-toxins-that-cause-breast-cancer.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Elimination of unwanted toxins from body which may form tumor</b></span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://breastcancerguide.weebly.com/breast-self-examination.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Self Breast examination</b></span></a></li>
<li>Water therapy</li>
<li><a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.com/2012/12/eat-raw-onions-to-prevent-growth-of.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Raw onions</b></span></a></li>
<li>Fruits and Vegetables</li>
<li>Early detection</li>
<li><a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.com/2012/09/role-of-toxins-that-cause-breast-cancer.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Carefully checkup of household chemicals like toilet cleaners, sprays, deo, etc before using</b></span></a></li>
<li>Avoiding contraceptive pills</li>
<li>Including daily intake of either <a href="http://breastcancerguide.weebly.com/prevent-breast-cancer-side-effects-using-wheatgrass.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Wheatgrass powder or juice</b></span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>As it is always said that <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22599402" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">"Health is in your hands".... </span></a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Firstly, being aware of is the most important factor. If you are aware of breast cancer or any type of cancer, then you are half avoided. If you want to do it full, then getting the right information is meaningful. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Eradicating the fear of death</b> also plays the unique role in treating any breast cancer patient. The patient always feels that she will die due to cancer even after getting <b>chemotherapy</b> or <b>radiation</b>. Emotional positiveness and no stress are the key factors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Know the symptoms, get aware of them as early as possible, get a perfect doctor if you find any lump, get it treated, etc. Your positiveness, carefulness, eager to get treated, eager to live life positively, knowledge of cancer treatments, sharing your experiences with others, all will make the doctors and your near and dear ones help in the event of your treatment. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Help others to help you. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If your family history has cancer, then you have to be doubly careful for yourself. Just like Diabetes, cancer genes cause cancer. The genes includes <a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.com/2013/01/genetic-tests-that-predict-breast.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>BRCA1 and BRCA2</b></span></a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coming to the treatment side, there are two to three types. <a href="http://breastcancerguide.weebly.com/side-effects-of-chemotherapy.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Chemotherapy</b></span></a>, <a href="http://breastcancerguide.weebly.com/side-effects-of-radiation.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Radiation</b></span></a> , Hormone Replacement Therapy, and sometimes surgery is also involved. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is one more dangerous aspect that everyone ignores, and that is the use of cell phones. Well some have doubts regarding the <a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.com/2012/08/can-cell-phones-cause-breast-cancer.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>cause of breast cancer due to cell phones</b></span></a>. There are some rays emitted due to which the breast tissues get affected and due to this the tumor is formed. So, it is harmful to use cell phones or put it in these words, that do not use the cell phones near the breasts. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Share your experiences to help others and spread the word of awareness among people. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Day by day , this disease named <b>"Cancer" </b>is becoming more and more nightmare for all of all ages. Everyone wants to prevent it by all means. Getting it in a lifetime is like handling a <b>ghost in house</b>. Nobody wants this ghost in their lives. True and there has to be some ways that can prevent it effectively. After all it is a <b>foreigner</b>, isn't it? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are <b>new and fresh techniques</b> that are tested and proved to be effective in <a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.com/2013/03/breast-cancer-treatment-or-prevention.html" target="_blank"><b style="color: blue;">prevention of breast cancer</b></a> by scientists. In my earlier posts, I have shared some information to my visitors with <b>latest news</b> like, <a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.com/2012/07/breast-cancer-can-be-predicted-by.html" target="_blank"><b style="color: blue;">blood tests to predict and prevent breast cancer</b></a> occurrence and recurrence, <a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.com/2013/01/genetic-tests-that-predict-breast.html" target="_blank"><b style="color: blue;">genetic tests that determine BC</b></a>, <a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.com/2012/10/free-e-book-on-101-ways-to-prevent.html" target="_blank"><b style="color: blue;">101 ways to prevent BC</b></a>, <b><a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.com/2012/12/what-should-be-recipes-for-breast.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">recipes for breast cancer</span></a> patients</b>, etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Getting detected earlier is the most important step in treating breast cancer or any other cancer. Because, early detection means good treatment and less suffering, as compared to other stages of breast cancer. One who has been detected in <b>stage 1 or 2 </b>are lucky in that matter as their survival rates are more. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently it has been found out that, like blood tests for eg: <b>ICH4 test </b>and <b>Cellsearch test</b>, which are capable to predict the cancer whether it is occurring or recurring. Similarly, there is one more test called as <b>"Saliva test"</b> that can predict the occurrence of breast cancer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now <a href="http://breastcancerconqueror.com/prevent-breast-cancer-with-saliva-hormone-testing/" target="_blank"><b style="color: blue;">what is Saliva test</b><span style="color: blue;">?</span></a> It is a way of testing the hormones , its status and its balance in the body. On the basis of this test , one can predict the occurrence of breast cancer.It a is also called as <b>"Saliva Hormone testing"</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Vitamin D and mineral iodine</b>, are the main and key ones in our body that play an important roles in maintaining the breast health. If anyone of them loses its balance, then there is a possibility of getting <b>high risk of breast cancer</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other hormones like <b>Estrogen </b>and <b>Progesterone</b>, also go hand in hand with the maintenance of breast health. Estrogen is a hormone which takes care of cell growth and Progesterone is a protective hormone. In our body, there is a <b>wear and tear or cells</b> and tissues constantly in progress. If in that , new tissues are formed then the old ones and dead ones has to be shed down from the body to replace the new ones. If this doesn't happen then there is a possibility that the dead ones may make a house in the body which then turn out to be <b>unwanted cell growth</b> and then take the <b>form of tumor</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <b>lymph nodes</b> play an active part in shedding the <b>lymphatic fluid</b> from the breasts. If they don't do this , then again like above the unwanted fluid form a tumor. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While doing this Saliva test, there is a need to inform your family doctor for <b>Comprehensive Plus Panel Saliva Kit. </b><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
All have the fear of getting <a href="http://breastcancerguide.weebly.com/" target="_blank"><b>breast cancer</b></a>. And why not? It is such a disease that may harm full body even if it is treated with <a href="http://breastcancerguide.weebly.com/treatment-involved-for-breast-cancer.html" target="_blank"><b>chemotherapy</b></a> and <a href="http://breastcancerguide.weebly.com/treatment-involved-for-breast-cancer.html" target="_blank"><b>radiation</b></a>. There may be some way out there which can really prove effective to treat breast cancer or let us say to <b>prevent the disease from occurring</b>. Now its high time that every woman should fight against it , even if anyone is suffering from it or not. Feel very bad for those women who have gone through the treatment and its side effects. They have come out of it but still after so many years, they are crying for pain in the hands, fatigue, tiredness, etc that are the <b><a href="http://breastcancerguide.weebly.com/side-effects-of-chemotherapy.html" target="_blank">side effects of chemotherapy and radiation</a></b>. And the most important fear that is always in the mind of the women or the patients is , <b>"Will it occur again ?" </b>This doubt is always in their mind and always they keep on asking to everyone. Unfortunately, the answer for this is ,<b>" May be or may not be" </b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What else can one say!!! Even <b>Oncologists</b> and <b>Radiologists</b> have no answer for this. If asked they say that , can anyone predict about heart attack , for example , if occurred once will never occur or attack again in the lifetime? Yes, but there is a difference between a<b> heart attack</b> and <b>cancer</b>. The main difference is that there is no need for heart attack patient to take treatment that kills the good cells in the body also with the cancer cells in the chemotherapy. Heart attack can occur twice or thrice, but if cancer occurs likewise then , what will be the patient's body be ?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In my previous post, I have specified about some <a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.in/2013/02/will-robots-detect-and-cure-breast.html" target="_blank"><b>new technologies that detect the breast cancer</b></a>. The <b><a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.in/2013/02/will-robots-detect-and-cure-breast.html" target="_blank">robots</a> </b>may take this responsibility to find out the breast cancer cells in the body which may be a form of detecting the disease in the early form. Also there are <a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.in/2013/02/5-best-mobile-apps-to-prevent-breast.html" target="_blank"><b>5 mobile apps that prevent breast cancer</b></a>. With the rising use of <b>Facebook</b> , a social networking giant, recently came up with a new <b>Facebook app</b> called <a href="http://breastcancerupdates2012.blogspot.in/2013/02/a-new-facebook-app-circle-of-support-to.html" target="_blank"><b>"Circle of Support"</b></a> app that gets connected with the fellow breast cancer survivors. This app is specially designed for <b>Metastatic Breast cancer patients (MBC)</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To avoid the patient from all the pain that she goes through, I have listed some important ways that are natural in treating the breast cancer or preventing it .</div>

There is a news updates regarding the treatment , cure and diagnosis of breast cancer. Even before an oncologist diagnose a patient with <b>breast cancer</b>, the robot will (if guided) will sense the cancer cells in the human body. </div>

It is a type of glove that has sensors which can detect vibrations, sound, and temperature. It has an accelerometer with a buzzer system that will buzz on if examined on the area. Also it can detect the exact size of the lump and where the lump is located. This can be done even before opting for mammograms or MRI. </div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In the news section recently updated was launch of a new <b><a href="http://mashable.com/2012/04/27/facebook-breast-cancer/" target="_blank">Facebook app</a></b> that can support a group of patients suffering from <b>Metastatic breast cancer</b>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>What is Metastatic Breast Cancer? </b>It is a stage in which the cancer has spread to the distant metastases. It is also called as <b><a href="http://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/diagnosis/staging" target="_blank">Stage IV breast cancer</a></b>. The most common sites for metastasis are the lung, liver, bones and brain. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently, many women who have completed chemotherapy and radiation, were asked to take turkey tail on the daily basis. And to surprise, the women's immune functionality was enhanced. This research was done on the women who had been diagnosed stage I , II and III . </div>
<br />
<br />
The main effect of turkey tail mushroom is to enhance the most critical cells' working, i.e <b>T-helper cells.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Cancer patients lose their immune system and so get tired and fatigued. The main concern of the this mushroom is to build and regain the lost immune system and the good cells that are damaged due to <b>chemotherapy and radiation.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Simple way to take mushroom for cancer patients: </b>2 or 3 grams of turkey tail daily in the form of powder.<br />

<br />
There are many questions arising from the minds of people as to why this cancer causes and what are the actual reasons for causing cancer to a person. The doctors have the reasons but if we predict it the other way then it turns to "No".<br />
<br />
Some say that the<b> causes</b> are many. Like:<br />
a. Irregular eating habits <br />
b. Irregular sleep<br />
c. No exercises<br />
d. Hereditary.<br />
e. Smoking and alcohol.<br />
<br />
There are many causes if we list them down. One of the main points that come in our minds is about the "hereditary" factor. <b>Is cancer hereditary? Yes, it is.</b> <br />
<br />
Scientists and researchers are continuously after the research about the hereditary factors that can cause <b>breast cancer</b> or any type of cancer. Take for instance, breast cancer. It is also hereditary. There are mainly 2 genes that cause the breast cancer. One is <b>BRCA1</b> and other is <b>BRCA2</b>. These are the 2 genes that are responsible for the causing of breast cancer if it is hereditary.<br />
<br />
In the latest editions, the mutations in PPM1D gene is linked to risk in breast cancer and also ovarian cancer.<br />
<br />
Now what is this PPM1D gene? It is an enzyme found in humans encoded as <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/genetic-tests-determines-breast-cancer-ovarian-cancer-risks-174300814.html" target="_blank"><b>PPM1D gene</b></a>. Its full form is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPM1D" target="_blank"><b>Protein Phosphatase 1D. </b></a><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>PPM1D gene , </b>unlike <b>BRCA1 </b>and <b>BRCA2</b> genes, is not inherited. It is shown in the blood only when the breast cancer or ovarian cancer tumor is present .<br />
<br />
If the blood test is done, the PPM1D mutation shows the breast cancer / ovarian cancer presence. <br />

<b>Allyn Rose</b> - an American beauty pageant titleholder, who won the <b>Miss District Columbia in 2012</b>. She is one of the contestants in the popular<b> Miss America pageant</b> which is going to be held in 2013.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She is in the news recently for opting for the life over beauty. She has decided to undergo double mastectomy and then breast re-construction. There is a reason behind this great decision. The reason behind is the hereditary factors that are related to causing the breast cancer, lump in the breasts and she thinks that the women in her family have inherited the genetic mutation of breast cancer. When she was just 16 years old, her mother died of breast cancer. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iI55jc8SzOE/UK2iS6MfbDI/AAAAAAAAAXI/wUsEyQ8DS8I/s1600/allynrose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iI55jc8SzOE/UK2iS6MfbDI/AAAAAAAAAXI/wUsEyQ8DS8I/s1600/allynrose.jpg" /> </a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
She says that her mother died of breast cancer when Allyn was just 16 years old and her mother was 27 years old and in fact all women in her family are suffered from breast cancer. She has decided to go through the double mastectomy and then breast reconstruction after she wins the pageant of Miss America. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Allyn wants to save her life and also the coming generations in her family in a way to reduce the factors of breast cancer risk which are passed on from one generation to other through the genetic mutations. As yet she has not been diagnosed of breast cancer, she wants to get her life saved . </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many of the patients are unaware
about the main cause of any type of cancer, breast cancer , for example.
The breast cancer is one type of cancer that causes to almost one in
eight women across the world. This is the known fact. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How many of us who have relatives in our family have experienced the <b>breast cancer </b>or
any type of cancer? The main cause is unknown to any of the doctors and
the patients. But still the patients suffer from the side effects of
treatment of breast cancer like <a href="http://breastcancerguide.weebly.com/" target="_blank"><b>chemotherapy</b> and <b>radiation</b>. </a>When <b>something unusual is found in the breasts,</b> we directly go to the doctor. In a way it is right. But somewhere there is a need to know the fact about the <b>main cause of breast cancer</b>.
Mainly, there is a feeling that there must have been poor diet or heavy
fat intake which causes cancer. But there are many other factors that
decide the cancer in the body. Mainly the <b>toxins in the body. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, <b>what are these toxins? What is their role? What chemicals are toxic in nature? How cancer causes due to toxins in body.</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We
unknowingly get exposed to thousands of chemicals everyday through the
household cleaning products, mobile phones, cell phones, cosmetics, etc
that contain lots of toxic materials which are harmful to the body and
that trigger the higher chances of getting cancer, diabetes etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dr. Deepak Chopra says, "using products with petrochemicals causes inflammation in the body.
This type of inflammation is what causes many types of cancer."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What chemicals are toxic ?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The list of the toxic and hazardous household chemicals are : </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Air Fresheners</li>
<li>Ammonia</li>
<li>Dishwasher detergents</li>
<li>Furniture polish</li>
<li>Drain clener</li>
<li>Oven cleaner</li>
<li>Toilet bowl cleaner</li>
<li>Laundry room products</li>
<li>Silica powder found in <i>abrasive cleaning powders </i>mainly causes cancer.</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>How to identify that the products are hazardous?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whenever
you buy a product, carefully read the label that contains the
instructions about the use, storage and disposal. The words, "caution",
"danger" and "warning" are the three words that describe the hazardous
of the product.<b> </b>Caution and Warning means "least toxic" and Danger means "More toxic".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b> Which chemicals are linked to breast cancer? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most acutely dangerous cleaning products are corrosive drain
cleaners, oven cleaners, and acidic toilet bowl cleaners, according to
Philip Dickey of the Washington Toxics Coalition. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>How to avoid them? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol>
<li>Avoid plastic bottled water. Instead use water filters that removes most of the impurities. </li>
<li>Wash the dishes with the gloves in hand . It can cause damage to the skin even. </li>
<li>Read carefully while buying these products by looking at the label
at the backside of any product or cleaner. It may be stated as caution
or danger or poison. Depending upon the more toxic, least toxic, and
moderately toxic features, the product has to be bought. </li>
</ol>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Herbal tea- </b>everyone has heard about it. Today many use it for reducing fats from their bodies. Many know that it helps in especially for their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulant" title="Stimulant">stimulant</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_relaxant" title="Muscle relaxant">relaxant</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedative" title="Sedative">sedative</a> properties. <b>Herbal tea </b>or ptisan is a plant infusion , made from the leaves of tea bush. They are prepared by combining hot water , fruits, leaves , roots or grains. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scientists at Aston University discovered the fact that an extract from a common plant in Pakistan may help to cure breast cancer. The name of the plant is <b> Fagonia cretica. </b>This is commonly used in herbal tea. The proved fact is that it kills cancer cells without damaging the normal breast cells. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now you can treat any type of cancer at home without any doctor. Many doctors or oncologists are experts in giving <b>chemotherapy , radiation and surgery, </b>as these are the only treatments that are taught in medical colleges, but many of us don't know how to cure it our self without chemotherapy and radiation. These treatments are like devils that act mostly on the patients mind and soul by affecting their physique, lowering the WBC count , no hair , losing financial and mental way. There is a way out of this to get cured without any doctor. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dr Morton Walker suggests the simple way to keep yourself cancer free without any harmful treatments like chemotherapy and radiation or surgery for that matter. </div>

Proved and tested<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<b>Jenny Jones</b>, an Australian woman, who was diagnosed breast cancer, consumed breast-milk daily 400ml dose from an anonymous donor. She believes that it is a <b>life-saver</b> and should be consumed by all cancer patients. She was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, i.e <b>bone marrow cancer. </b><br />
<br />
<b>Breast milk</b> is believed to help build immunity in new born babies. It is such a nutritional source that cannot be replaced by any other food.<br />
<br />
Jenny Jones, 62 year old stated that , her cancer levels were "dramatic" when she was diagnosed, but after daily intake of breast milk, she states that now the cancer levels have reduced significantly.<br />
<br />
Breast milk contains a substance , <b>HAMLET, (Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made LEthal to Tumour cells),</b> can kill cancer cells. This was proved and researched by Lund University and University of Gothenburg, Sweden.<br />
<br />
<b>HAMLET</b> consists a protein and fatty acid that are found in the breast milk. Till now it has not been found that HAMLET is formed in the breast milk . Experiments suggests that HAMLET kills 40 types of cancers. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Soy beans are said to be useful in <a href="http://breastcancerguide.weebly.com/prevent-breast-cancer-side-effects-using-wheatgrass.html" target="_blank">breast cancer prevention</a> , <a href="http://adf.ly/AIptO" target="_blank">latest news</a> suggests. According to the published online in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, say that women whose daily diet includes even small amount of soy, are actually preventing the breast cancer recurrence. Even if 10mg of soy isoflavones is consumed then they are reducing the recurrence of breast cancer in their lifetime to 25%. That means they are lowering the risk of recurrence of breast cancer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The higher the soy isoflavone intake, the stronger the protective
effect. Women who consumed the most – versus least – isoflavones each
day were 36% less likely to have their breast cancer recur over
the course of the study.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Soy</b> may protect from breast cancer in a few ways. Isoflavones, being
weak estrogens, can bind to estrogen receptors on breast cells,
preventing normal estrogens from doing so. In this way, <b>isoflavones may
minimize the effect of estrogen on breast-cancer risk. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The new study <a class="aga aga_5" href="http://www.ajcn.org/content/96/1/123.abstract?etoc" target="_blank">included</a>
an analysis of 9,514 breast cancer survivors in the U.S. and China.
Earlier it was predicted that the daily intake of soybeans was harmful
if a woman is Estrogen receptor positive. But the recent study states
that , despite of location or country, the soybeans showed good results
and reduced the reoccurence of breast cancer. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Estrogen is a hormone that is found in women which fuels the breast cancer. There may be some confusion in the minds of people, whether the intake of soy is good or bad for the breast cancer ? Now this can be stated in such a manner that many women who have taken soy have reduced the risk of breast cancer upto 25%. Findings say that in the lab, phytoestrogens can stimulate the growth of breast cancer
cells. But in human studies, scientists have not found that diets high
in soy increase breast cancer risk. In fact, most have found the
reverse.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition states after multi year research that women who ate the most soy had lower rates of cancer recurrence and mortality.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Consclusion: </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Despite concerns about its phytoestrogen content, eating soy has not been shown to promote breast cancer.

<br />
Women are scared about the upcoming<a href="http://breastcancerguide.weebly.com/" target="_blank"> breast cancer.</a> They always are in some search for articles and news about breast cancer. They have some questions in their mind going on like, "what are the major risks of getting breast cancer?, "will I loose my physique and look of beautiful breasts?, "will I be liked and loved by my near and dear ones when they come to know about breast cancer?", etc.<br />
<br />
The breast cancer is a type of disease that occurs one in every 8 women worldwide. They either have to undergo mastectomy or lumpectomy depending upon the size of the breast tumor and depending upon the malignancy of the tumor.<br />
<br />
There is a latest news that states that one in five women who undergo breast - conserving surgery for cancer instead of mastectomy , require to undergo a second surgery within 3 months. The survival rates for breast-conserving surgery
combined with radiation and for mastectomy are about the same, but the
need for a second operation can introduce extra anxiety for the patient,
as well as additional cost. The need for a re operation was most common
for women with ductal carcinoma in situ, a form of cancer whose edges
are very difficult to define for removal of the tumor.<br />
<br />
Rates in the United States might actually be higher. A study of four
large U.S. hospitals reported in February in the Journal of the American
Medical Assn. reported that 23% of the patients receiving
breast-conserving surgery underwent a re operation.<br />
<br />
We all know we need to perform self-breast exams regularly -- but when and how often? Do this self exam most often as to avoid breast cancer from attacking you.<br />

you're in your mid-40s, you want to be more careful about the use of
estrogen therapy," said Dr. Kala Visvanathan, one of the researchers on
the study.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ovary removal,
also called oophorectomy, is thought to decrease the risk of breast and
ovarian cancer for some women. In certain cases, women at a high risk
of cancer will get the surgery for prevention, while others will have it
for reasons unrelated to cancer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="midArticle_4"></span>In
younger women who have not experienced menopause, having the ovaries
removed sends them into an abrupt menopause and can result in severe
symptoms, such as hot flashes. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) remains
the most effective treatment for menopause symptoms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="midArticle_5"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But
millions of women stopped using it after a large U.S. government study
in 2002 found women taking estrogen and progestin, another hormone, had
increased risks of heart attack, stroke and breast cancer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="midArticle_6"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another
part of the study that ended in 2004 found that women who had their
uterus removed and who were taking estrogen alone also had an increased
risk of stroke. There's been considerable discussion since then to
calculate the risks and benefits of using hormone therapy to treat
menopausal symptoms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="midArticle_7"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Visvanathan
and her colleagues wanted to see whether estrogen therapy to relieve
these symptoms would negate the benefits of having the ovaries removed.
The idea is that removing the ovaries, and the estrogen produced by
them, is responsible for the reduction in breast cancer risk.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="midArticle_8"></span>"So
the question is, if you elect to use estrogen therapy, will you have an
increased breast cancer risk?" said Hazel Nichols, a researcher at the
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in the Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina, who also worked on the study.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
REASSURING TO YOUNG WOMEN</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="midArticle_10"></span>The
researchers collected survey information from more than 22,000 women.
Nearly half had been diagnosed with breast cancer, while the rest of the
women hadn't.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, current
estrogen users who had had both ovaries and their uterus removed had a
14-percent increase in breast cancer risk compared with women who
experienced natural menopause and never used hormones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Women
who had the surgery done before age 40, however, had a smaller chance
of getting breast cancer, whether or not they took estrogen, the
researchers report in the medical journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="midArticle_13"></span>The
risk was 24 percent lower among those on the hormone, for example, than
among women who had never had the surgery and hadn't used estrogen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chlebowski stated that the results apply only to women who had their ovaries
and uterus removed; women who keep their uterus would take estrogen and progesterone, which might give different results.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
About
one in eight American women develop breast cancer at some point in her
life, although the majority survive, according to the American Cancer
Society. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A
24 percent reduction in that number would mean 94 out of every 100,000
women would get the cancer. Women who had the surgery before 40 but who
never used hormone therapy had an even greater drop in the risk of
breast cancer - 30 percent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Part
of the benefit of (the surgery) is probably being lost when a woman is
using estrogen," said Dr. Graham Colditz, a professor at Washington
University in St. Louis, who did not participate in the new research.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="midArticle_2"></span>The
gains from the surgery are only slightly diminished by hormone therapy,
but Colditz said there is still a need for caution when using estrogen
to treat menopause symptoms. The researchers found that the risk of
breast cancer increased the older the women were at the time of surgery.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="midArticle_3"></span>Nichols
and her colleagues found that for women who had their ovaries and
uterus removed after 50, taking estrogen was tied to a 26 percent
increase in breast cancer risk. Nichols said there's a need for more
research to help doctors best determine the risks and benefits of
hormone therapy for each woman.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="midArticle_4"></span>"I
think what we've learned is that hormones shouldn't be prescribed to
prevent chronic disease among healthy women, but there may be a role for
them in treating severe symptoms (of menopause), and what we need to do
now is to best understand what the safest way to do that is," she told
Reuters Health.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A blood test called the <b>CellSearch</b> test to predict <a href="http://breastcancerguide.weebly.com/" target="_blank"><b>breast cancer</b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Surely if there was a blood test to determine whether or not a woman had breast cancer many women could add years to their lives and in some cases their lives may be saved. But women who want to know if they have cancer shouldn’t fret any longer, because help is on the way and now there’s a blood test called the <b>CellSearch test</b> to predict breast cancer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It is currently available for <b>metastatic breast cancer,</b> but not for <b>non-metastatic</b> except in a research study setting,” said Dr. Anthony Lucci, professor of surgical oncology at the University of Texas. The findings entitled “Circulating tumor cells in non-metastatic breast cancer: a prospective study” was published in June’s issue of Lancet Oncology.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their previous research explored circulating tumor cells in the blood of patients who had metastatic breast cancer or breast cancer that has spread. The cells are shed by tumors and are thought to cause cancer if they latch on to another area of the body. Further analysis revealed the presence of the cells predicted disease progression and the patient’s overall survival rate. “It is a good thing to be able to predict disease progression but we need to know which drugs can kill these cells and improve outcome before we start treating every patient who has circulating tumor cells, Lucci said. “Other factors like <b>lymph node </b>status and tumor size also predict outcome, but there’s no other blood tests that do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
15% of patients who tested positive for the cells had relapsing breast cancer, while 10% died during the four-year-study period. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found fetal exposure to BPA, a plastic additive found in some food pack-aging was dangerous. Monkeys exposed as fetuses to BPA – bis phenol A – appeared to have an increased risk of breast cancer. Primates are more similar to humans reinforces the notion that BPA could contribute to breast cancer in women.</div>

According to a new study presented at the 2012 American Society of Breast Surgeons, Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI), also known as BSGI, is equivalent to MRI in detecting breast cancer. Although both MBI/BSGI and MRI are capable of detecting cancers missed by mammography and ultrasound, the MBI/BSGI procedure can be conducted for about 1/3 the cost of an MRI examination.<br /><br />In this study of 276 patients at George Washington University Hospital, the MBI/BSGI procedure was conducted with the Dilon 6800® Gamma Camera. The number of patients who underwent a MBI/BSGI procedure was twice those of MRI and the authors concluded that there was no statistically significant difference between the sensitivity or specificity of the two modalities. <br /><br />According to one of the authors, Dr. Christine Teal from the Department of Surgery at George Washington University Hospital, "MBI/BSGI continuously proves to be a very important diagnostic tool in our facility by providing outstanding results in detecting additional cancers. MBI clearly indicated a change in patient management for a greater number of patients than did MRI".<br /><br />MRI cannot be performed on patients with metal or electronic implants, or those with claustrophobia. In addition, MRI utilizes a contrast agent that has been reported to cause adverse reactions in a very small number of patients, especially those with insufficient kidney function. Such patients have no difficulty having a MBI/BSGI exam. <br /><br />News Source: http://www.dotmed.com/news/story/19138/<br />
