I don’t have a history of breast cancer in the family, but I thought it would be cool to bring my mom with me to get screened. My only concern is taking up doctors time because I am only 21 and should have healthy breasts. Should I be concerned about getting screened? Do you think its too young?

Many more organizations gather funds for that cause than any other type of cancer. Why? Why would people divide their efforts and independently search for cures against that specific type of cancer? Wouldn’t it be way more efficient to have a single (possibly international) organization to gather funds for developing a cure against cancer, since it’s the exact same illness in breasts than in intestines and everywhere else?

Sounds sadomasochistic to me to do something like that when you are just as likely to die in accidents or other diseases and the testing is new so who knows if she would have gotten the disease. There was a history of breast cancer in her family but a history dosen’t mean you are going to have it, there is a history of everything in my family but the things I ended up suffering from nobody else had. Everyone is going to die anyway why chop up your body to try and avoid the eneventabtle?
These stories make me sick!

Also, it is essential in assessing the risk of the given condition and what lifestyle changes the patient can do to improve their health. Identifying A Breast Cancer’s StageWhen talking about breast cancer stages, it is aimed at describing the extent of the cancer in the body. So, if you ask how a breast cancer is staged, doctors often start to classify whether it is invasive or non-invasive. Other factors considered are the tumor size, number of nymph modes involved, and what other parts of the body it has managed to affect. Determining a cancer’s stage is helpful during prognosis and deciding on a treatment option.To determine the stage, a few standard procedures are done by the doctor on a patient. They undergo physical exam and biopsy to acquire the data needed by the doctor for the diagnosis. If needed, further tests are also conducted such as imaging tests that include x-ray, bone scans, mammograms for the breasts, CT scans, positron emission tomography (PET), and magentic resonance imaging. What Are the Breast Cancer Stages?Now that the importance of determining the different breast cancer stages have been clarified, as well as the methods used to identify them, it is now time to move on to discussing each of the stages. Take note of the features and extent of the cancer in each of the stages:Breast Cancer Stage 0This stage renders the case of breast cancer to be non-invasive. At this point of the breast cancer, cancer or non-cancerous cells cannot be detected yet. The abnormal cells are still at the stage wherein they try to spread out within the specific part of the breast where the cells are rooted. Also, they can try to expand on the neighboring tissues as the cancerous cells continue to grow. Breast Cancer Stage IOnce the breast cancer enters this stage, it is now categorized as an invasive type of breast cancer. Meaning, the cancer cells have now worked their way towards the neighboring tissues. Stage I breast cancer also exhibit the following characteristics:•    The cancerous tumor has reached the size of 2 centimeters. •    No lymph modes are affected.Breast Cancer Stage IIFor this particular stage of breast cancer, it is also known as an invasive type of cancer and is broken down into two more categories:1) Stage IIAEven in this particular stage, the conditions can be different:•    A tumor does not exist in the breast but cancerous cells are detected in the lymph nodes.•    A tumor could exist but measures less than 2 centimeters;•    The tumor has expanded beyond 2 centimeters but less than 5 centimeters without reaching the lymph nodes.2) Stage IIBThis invasive level of the cancer are recognized as either one of the following:•    The tumor exceeds 2 centimeters in size but less than 5 centimeters, while also reaching the lymph nodes.•    The tumor is more than 5 centimeters in size but has not yet reached the axillary lymph nodes. Breast Cancer Stage III1) Stage IIIAIn this stage, the tumor could either be detected or not. Aside from the axillary lymph nodes, cancer can also stick to other structures outside of the lymph nodes and become clumped together. 2) Stage IIIBIn this stage, the tumor can grow in size and affect other areas of the body outside of the actual breast, whether th chest wall or skin of the breast. This is the stage wherein inflammatory breast cancer takes place.3) Stage IIICIn some cases, sign of breast cancer might not be detectable yet. However, the tumor could already be spreading towards the breast skin, chest wall, and below your collarbone. Breast Cancer Stage IVIn this level, the cancerous cells have managed to spread to various organs of the body. Therefore, the cancer is no longer restricted on the breast and lymph nodes, which signifies the initial diagnosis of breast cancer. The reason why diagnosis is done only during this stage is because cancerous cells were not detected while still within the breast. Recognizing breast cancer stages does more than just identifying treatment options, but also enables doctors and patients to understand the developmental pattern of the disease.

A woman’s sex life may suffer as she learns to cope with the changes within her body. Losing one or both breasts in a partial or radical mastectomy can drastically change a woman’s appearance which may affect her self-esteem and her sexuality.

A woman whose breast tissue has been treated or surgically altered may find the area extra sensitive, numb, or even painful. As she recovers from her surgery she may either find she wants no touching in the breast area, or even more touching than before! Why more? Because touching and affection towards the recovering area reassures some woman that they are still sexy.

While having a mastectomy usually leads to a loss in sexual interest, women who have had a lumpectomy often report heightened sex drive and an increase desire for their breasts to be caressed.

Reconstructive surgery is one option for women who have had one or both breasts removed due to breast cancer. However, if she chooses to have her breast reconstructed, she can expect to experience dulled sensations if any at all.

Your partner will also find this to be an awkward time period and will be in need of more guidance during your sexual encounters. You will have to communicate with them more about what makes you uncomfortable and may have to physically show them what you want by taking hold of their hand and guiding it. Try putting your hand over his and moving it how and where you want it to go. You will have to learn to be more assertive than you are used to being, but this will greatly reduce the pressure he feels to please you.

It is normal for some mastectomy patients to be uncomfortable with any sort of breast touching. For some, it is a painful reminder of a loss. This is a situation that needs to handled delicately by both partners. She needs to make this a firm request and he needs to comply, with both knowing that she may change her mind at a later date. It is of utmost importance that both partners know that this will be a learning process for both of them.
