Breast cancer and contraception by Bredie

"I was on the pill before being diagnosed, which is another big question mark for me - whether the pills helped, or it was totally random (or genetic).
My gynecologist's nurse told me that they found out that an IUD, combined with Tamoxifen, can actually help cure cancer. Now, either I didn't get it right, or she didn't get it right, or we both didn't get it right, or there is something to thi"

My grand-aunt (my grandpa's sister, from my father's side) complained about "a bump" on her breast for a long time, but refused to be taken to a doctor.

Too Young For Breast Cancer
Written by jessicaharris9
In Breast Cancer Support Group

" too young for breast cancer“But you’re too young to have breast cancer”! I can’t tell you the countless times I’ve heard that phrase. At chemo my standard response to these women who were older than my mother and some older than my grandmother was “we’re all too young to have breast cancer”. On the other hand, my standard response out in the world of the healthy was “yeah, crazy isn’t it”. But what is too young for breast cancer, or any cancer for that matter? I’ve read articles of teenage girls dying of inflammatory breast cancer. We’ve all heard the sad stories of childhood cancers. Yet countless women remain in the dark regarding breast cancer issues despite all of the pink ribbon campaigns. We all feel we’re exempt from the ferociousness of it, until we meet someone or are afflicted ourselves. "

Cancer and the family
Written by Alan
In Breast Cancer Support Group

"cancer_and_the_familyMany women want to fight cancer with every means possible. This is not only so for themselves but for their family and especially for their children. Mothers to young children especially feel the need to hold on. A month more of life can mean so much!  But if you are just lying in bed and feeling as sick as can be, are you really there for your children? Treatment can come at a very high price. Others may argue that as long as you are alive, this is of utmost importance to your children, and then, it means also so much to you, the patient, to be able to be there for them. "

Breast Cancer Lexicon

The different kinds of breast cancer
Written by Debra
In Breast Cancer Support Group

" woman pinkNormal cell growth in the breast, as in the rest of the body occurs in cycles. The periods of growth and rest in cells are controlled by genes in the cells nucleus and vary according to the cell's function and attrition of a certain body part. When the genes are in good working order  then the control is also good. But when there is a genetic abnormality or "mistake" then the control too is incorrect and usually that means overgrowth of cells or cancer.

Written by alice1971
In Breast Cancer Support Group

"chemotherapy There is no cure for breast cancer today that can be just taken up as a pill or tablet. Chemotherapy is the closest to medicinal treatment or this disease, as it is administrated by giving drugs to the patient. Chemotherapy works on the concept of stopping chaotic, fast and uncontrolled division of cells which is the typical cancer tumour scenario for growth as healthy cells divide in a predefined order. Chemotherapy today is divided into to five typical regimens or combinations of drugs. This article is a general introduction to chemotherapy, how it works and the five most common treatments available today."

This step involves the very important decision of where to get treated.
