It appears that breast cancer rates are rising around the world and no one seems to know why. There is so much money going in to research but they still seem unable to come up with any answers.

2010 now, hard to believe. We want to start the year off by reminding everyone that it is so important to get regular breast examinations. Do not make excuses. You must go at regular intervals; around 1 year usually.

The existence of a relationship between diet and cancer is becoming more obvious as time passes. Preventing breast cancer and stopping its spread inside a person is helped by consuming only organic foods as close to their natural raw state as possible.
The preparation of foods is also critical. For instance, it you are eating organic meat it is best not to fry it as this creates trans fats in the foods which are cancer forming.
Stay completely away from junk foods including the American junk food chains such as McDonalds, Kentucky Fried and Burger King. Their junk food is poison to the body.
Make sure that you visit the bathroom whenever you feel the slightest urge as your body is telling you that it has derived all the goodness it can from what you have eaten. Retaining the waste in your body by not immediately going to the bathroom is harmful to your body.

The symptoms of Breast Cancer must be discovered early and they should not be ignored. The slightest symptoms should be evaluated initially by a General Practitioner. However, a GP is not a Specialist and if you live in a country where GP’s can not be sued, such as New Zealand, please do not rely on your GP’s abilities. This would be a very big mistake. Seek a second opinion or get a referral straight to a Specialist.
One must also be aware that there may be no symptoms at all because of the minimal size of the breast lumps. Often these very small lumps will show up in a mammogram. Consequently, regular mammograms reduce the risk of undiagnosed lumps.
Common symptoms include swelling of all or part of the breast, skin irritation or dimpling, breast pain, nipple pain or the nipple turning inward, redness, scaliness, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin, a nipple discharge other than breast milk, and a lump in the underarm area.
However, most of these symptoms can appear due to other causes. So, if you have one or more of these symptoms it may be that it is not malignant (cancerous). Nevertheless, any of the symptoms above should be checked out with your doctor immediately.

Almost everyone one talks to and discusses this subject with has a close friend or relative that is going through some sort of breast cancer process. There are as many ideas about what causes the disease as there are people with it. In the lastfew days alone I have heard; chemicals in the environment, bras, food, stress, anger and family history of breast cancer. Needless to say it is all very confusing to most people. One of the aims of this blog will be, once conventional medicine has been covered, a look at the alternative healing approaches.

It is generally recommended that before age 70 woman get a breast screening once per year. I do not believe this is adequate because woman can get breast cancer over 70 but it generally moves slower given the reduced metabolism of older people. I know of at least one woman who stopped testing at 70 because it was no longer free and by the time she got to the doctor the cancer was too far progressed to do anything other than paleative care. I believe testing should continue after age 70 consequently. This type of test is called a screening test.
The types of breast cancer tests fall into three broad categories; screening, diagnostic and monitoring. Diagnostic tests occur when it is not routine and cancer is suspected. An example would be a biopsy.
An example of a monitoring test, which occurs after cancer has been diagnosed, are to see how treatment is progressing and also to use after the cancer treatment has taken place to see whether there is recurrence.

This disease has affected me personally and hence my interest. Not long ago I lost my mother to this disease. Recently my sister was afflicted but appears to be ok now.
It is a vicious, pitiless condition which severely impacts people who have it and I hope to be able to help people with this Blog/reference.
