This time around, we've got the details of how breast cancer develops, just to give you a clearer picture on how it happens, why etc. It may get a little technical with the medical terms but bear with us! </span><br /></strong></p><p style="font-family: arial;" face="arial"><strong style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of breast cells.</strong> To better understand breast cancer, it helps to understand how any cancer can develop.</p><p style="font-family: arial;" face="arial">Cancer occurs as a result of mutations, or abnormal changes, in the genes responsible for regulating the growth of cells and keeping them healthy. The genes are in each cell’s nucleus, which acts as the “control room” of each cell. Normally, the cells in our bodies replace themselves through an orderly process of cell growth: healthy new cells take over as old ones die out. But over time, mutations can “turn on” certain genes and “turn off” others in a cell. That changed cell gains the ability to keep dividing without control or order, producing more cells just like it and forming a tumor.</p><p face="arial">A tumor can be benign (not dangerous to health) or malignant (has the potential to be dangerous). Benign tumors are not considered cancerous: their cells are close to normal in appearance, they grow slowly, and they do not invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors are cancerous. Left unchecked, malignant cells eventually can spread beyond the original tumor to other parts of the body.</p><p face="arial"><strong style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">The term “breast cancer” refers to a malignant tumor that has developed from cells in the breast.</strong> Usually breast cancer either begins in the cells of the lobules, which are the milk-producing glands, or the ducts, the passages that drain milk from the lobules to the nipple. Less commonly, breast cancer can begin in the stromal tissues, which include the fatty and fibrous connective tissues of the breast.</p><p face="arial"><a id="Anchor-Index" name="Anchor-Index"></a></p><div style="font-family: arial;" class="imageandcaption"><a href="http://www.breastcancer.org/illustrations/i0013.html" onclick="window.open(this.href, '', 'height=500,width=700');return false;"><img class="no-mod" src="http://www.breastcancer.org/Images/breast_anatomy_tcm8-329407.jpg" alt="Breast Anatomy" border="0" width="200" height="250" /></a><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">Breast Anatomy</span></div><p face="arial">Over time, cancer cells can invade nearby healthy breast tissue and make their way into the underarm lymph nodes, small organs that filter out foreign substances in the body. If cancer cells get into the lymph nodes, they then have a pathway into other parts of the body. The breast cancer’s stage refers to how far the cancer cells have spread beyond the original tumor.</p><p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">Breast cancer is always caused by a genetic abnormality</span> (a “mistake” in the genetic material). However, only 5-10% of cancers are due to an abnormality inherited from your mother or father. About 90% of breast cancers are due to genetic abnormalities that happen as a result of the aging process and the “wear and tear” of life in general.</p><p style="font-family: arial;">While there are steps every person can take to help the body stay as healthy as possible (such as eating a balanced diet, not smoking, limiting alcohol, and exercising regularly), <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">breast cancer is never anyone's fault.</span> Feeling guilty, or telling yourself that breast cancer happened because of something you or anyone else did, is not productive.</p><p style="font-family: arial;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: right;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 102, 204);">Source:</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Breastcancer.org (BCO)</span><br /></p><h2 style="font-family: arial;"><a name="Stages" id="Stages"></a></h2>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514560531459998022.post-83791294301986358802009-07-29T21:02:00.001+08:002009-07-31T20:06:28.646+08:00.3R.<div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Our event has been featured on the 3R website!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" ><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://3r.com.my/?p=2009">clickhere<3</a></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Trillion Thanks to the people at 3R for showing love.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Lets get the word out girls.</span><br /><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514560531459998022.post-73473949773845351922009-07-28T14:00:00.001+08:002009-07-31T20:06:48.575+08:00.quoted by.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://stuff.thatshawt.com/graphics/spreadshirt/09_sep_12_07_105211_pink_ribbon.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 115px; height: 189px;" src="http://stuff.thatshawt.com/graphics/spreadshirt/09_sep_12_07_105211_pink_ribbon.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:arial;">"During chemo, you're more tired than you've ever been.

Although women with a family history are at a higher risk for the disease, environmental factors, drinking, smoking, medication and diet can all influence a woman’s chances of getting breast cancer.</p> <p>Knowing the history of breast cancer on both sides of your family is also important. Just because a woman doesn’t have a history of breast cancer on her mother’s side, doesn’t mean she’s at a decreased risk. A paternal family history of breast cancer also increases a woman’s chances of getting it.</p><p><br /></p> </span><ul style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;"><li><span name="intelliTxt" id="intelliTXT"><p><strong>I have breast cancer, so I have to get a mastectomy if I want to stop the spread and prevent the cancer from coming back</strong>.</p></span></li></ul><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" name="intelliTxt" id="intelliTXT" > <p>Very few women diagnosed with breast cancer actually need a mastectomy, said Zuckerman. “In fact, most of the women who get mastectomies don’t need them,” she said. “And for women to lose their breasts, in addition to the normal emotional turmoil that they go through having breast cancer, is harmful emotionally and physically.”</p> <p>Specifically, Zuckerman said that about 75 percent of the women who get breast cancer each year will not need mastectomies. Many women with stages 0, 1 or 2 breast cancer respond well to treatment that includes a lumpectomy with radiation and chemotherapy, she added.</p> <p>"Women with early stage breast cancer usually do not need a mastectomy and will benefit from chemotherapy almost always," said Zuckerman. "Women who get a lumpectomy will need radiation and that's the difference. Women who get a mastectomy will not need radiation, but with a lumpectomy you always need radiation."</p><p><br /></p> </span><ul style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;"><li><span name="intelliTxt" id="intelliTXT"><p><strong>Young women are just as likely to get breast cancer as older women</strong></p></span></li></ul><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" name="intelliTxt" id="intelliTXT" > <p>Both Weiss and Zuckerman agree that this also is not true. Women older than 50 are most at risk for this disease, explained Zuckerman.</p> <p>“Breast cancer in women younger than 30 is so rare, and this is one of the things that concerns me,” she said. “I think the media focuses on young women, because it’s so shocking when someone in their 20s gets cancer. But what you end up with are women in their 20s and 30s who are terrified that they're going to get cancer and women in their 50s who think they don’t need to worry about it, when the opposite is true."</p> <p>Of the nearly 200,000 women who will get breast cancer next year, half will be over the age of 61, said Weiss. About 25,000 women will be under the age of 40.</p> <p>“It’s still a significant number, but when you compare it to the overall number of women who get breast cancer, it’s a small percentage,” she said.</p><p><br /></p> </span><ul style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;"><li><span name="intelliTxt" id="intelliTXT"><p> <strong>Breast cancer is fatal</strong></p></span></li></ul><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" name="intelliTxt" id="intelliTXT" > <p>“Breast cancer is not fatal in and of itself,” said Zuckerman. “What makes it fatal is if it goes into other parts of the body and gets into the lymph nodes, lungs and other organs,” she said.</p> <p>“Also if it gets into the blood or the bones, it can kill a person. That’s the risk of metastasized cancer. That means it has spread and once it hits the lymph nodes, it can become out of control.”</p> <p>Zuckerman said early detection is the best way to prevent cancer from spreading.</p><p><br /></p> </span><ul style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;"><li><span name="intelliTxt" id="intelliTXT"><p> <strong>Men don’t get breast cancer</strong>.</p></span></li></ul><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" name="intelliTxt" id="intelliTXT" > <p>“This is certainly not true,” said Weiss. “Men do get it.”</p> <p>The American Cancer Society estimates that about 2,030 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in men this year, and about 450 men will die after getting the disease.</p> <p>Still, breast cancer is about 100 times more common in women, and women whose fathers are diagnosed with breast cancer are at an increased risk for the disease just as they would be if their mothers are diagnosed with it, added Weiss.</p></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514560531459998022.post-89324729805913378552009-06-15T17:23:00.000+08:002009-07-31T20:08:17.465+08:00.updates.<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:arial;">hello all you lovely people,</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">we've got event details sorted out for ya!</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">Who? </span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">brought to you by Fabulous Events and Pride Foundation</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:180%;" >What?</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Breast Cancer Prevention Event titled "Go Pink!
