If you are a guy, I am sure that when you saw the heading of this article you must have been so shocked you probably feel off a chair. This news must be one that probably made you lose your appetite especially if you didn’t know about the fact that men actually, actually have breast cancer.
Most of my guy friends before they knew that breast cancer affected men would always act uninterested when I talked about the fact that Pink (or pink ribbon) is used to create awareness for breast cancer. They always said that pink is a typical color for women (even though that is not necessarily true). When they heard that they can also get breast cancer, they were not too happy.
Well, it seems that due to the fact that the breasts of both men and women have identical tissues both men and women are at risk of developing breast cancer. The cancerous cells usually originate in the cells of the ducts but it can at times originate from the lobules.
According to research, it has been estimated that approximately 1,700 men are going to be diagnosed with breast cancer and about 450 will die if they are not diagnosed early. The percentage is small compared to that in females but it is still significant for those that are affected.
Therefore it is essential that men should also try to give themselves breast self examinations and take notice of any unusual changes in their breasts. They should report any changes that they observe to their physicians.
Factors that might increase the risk of breast cancer include too much alcohol consumption and obesity. Though women are believed to be more prone than men because of the breast of women constantly undergoes various changes due to growth changing hormones.
As time goes on, many scientists and doctors continue to dedicate themselves to researching on breast cancer and how to effectively treat this disease. Hopefully very soon they would find better and effective ways to cure breast cancer.
Remember that October is the month dedicated to creating awareness about breast cancer and that pink is the official colour for breast cancer. Try to help support initiatives that are done to raise money for researches and breast cancer awareness initiatives. You won’t be sorry.
Well, that is all for now.
Remain beautifully blessed.
Your girl, Bim nubi.

LIFE AFTER DIAGNOSIS
I saw this article and decided to honour this woman by publishing this article. Hope you are inspired by this article. See you at the other end.
Breast Cancer and the Amazing Life You Can Have After Going Through This Trauma -
This is My Story
By Suellen Sutherland
I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 46, which in breast cancer terms is neither young or old. The lump was very large and was situated behind the nipple. It was that large that the doctor said to me "don't worry, it is too big to be cancer".
The first thing that happened was I was sent for a hormone level check to determine if I was post or premenopause as this is very important in what the severity of the cancer maybe. The results came back pre which is more severe than post as the cancer feeds on estrogen which would not be present in the body if you are post menopause.
Because the lump was situated directly behind the nipple the doctor did not think that he could save the nipple so I decided to have the breast removed. After researching what my post treatment would be I also thought this would save the process of radiation.
I believe that the biggest cause of breast cancer is stress, at the time I was diagnosed I was traveling 6 hours a day by train to and from work and my son was a drug addict using heroin. Our body's can only take so much.
For about 6 months prior to being diagnosed I was not right, I was suffering really bad night sweats and was mentally all over the shop. I went to the doctor who told me I was having a break down and prescribed me Prozack.
When I found the lump it can as no surprise. Our body tries hard to tell us when things are not right and we need to listen to it. I had to leave the job, and at the time had no money and no family to support me. My saving grace was my girlfriends who supported me no end. Not financially, but just being there for me.
This was 6 years ago and I have come so far since then and have realized that support in the way of females can provide the inspiration to overcome any obstacle. I now have a male partner who loves me to death. I am blessed, and grateful for every day that I wake up.
My wish is that everyone live the life of theirs dreams, that is why I created http://www.sassywomeninspired.com/ It is our birthright to have wealth and abundance, there is enough to go around. We want to show you how to attract things into your life. You can have anything you want once you learn the secrets of how the universe works on vibrational energy.

CAN OBESITY INCREASE YOUR RISKS OF CANCER?
Well it has been said that obesity raises the risk of getting cancer. The article below talks about it. I hope you enjoy it and learn to live healthy.
Oh! By the way how was your New Year celebration? Did you make any resolutions (and plans to keep them)? Hope one of your New year’s resolution was to eat healthy.
Breast Cancer - Another Obesity Victim
By Tom Crystal
Obesity raises the risk of various types of cancer. And only 3% people know that obesity increases cancer risks. According to a recent research based on one million Americans conducted by the American cancer society, 14% of cancer deaths in men and 20% of cancer deaths in women occur due to Obesity. Scientists say that 90,000 deaths can be avoided in America if they take good care to maintain their body weight. Women are more likely to get cancer in their breasts, gallbladder, ovaries, colon and cervix while men get cancer in colon and rectum.
Breast cancer in women:
There are more than 200 different types of cancer, but together breast, lung, bowel and prostate cancer cover half of the cancer cases. Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in females. Overweight and obesity are the major causes of breast cancer.
Obesity and Breast cancer risk in females:
Obese women have higher amounts of estrogen in their body. Estrogen is mainly produced from the fatty tissues and more amount of fat in your body means you have higher chances of getting affected by breast cancer. Good nutrition, healthy living conditions and a fine environment may help girls to start puberty earlier in life and attain menopause later. Estrogen develops though out the fertility period. And better levels of estrogen in the body increases the risk of breast cancer in women.
Breast cancer in men:
Breast cancer is generally found in females but it is also seen in males. Recent research shows that breast cancer among males is also on the increase. And obesity is one of its main causes. In males too estrogen is responsible for breast cancer.
Obesity and breast cancer :
• Obesity affects both the development and progression of breast cancer.
• Post menopausal cancer risk is higher among obese women.
• Breast cancer mortality is higher in obese women.
• Body weight measured at different times during life also causes breast cancer.

New Breast Cancer Awareness And Information
By Precious Chinwe Chibuzo
Breast cancer can be said to be one of the oldest known type of cancer tumors in humans mostly in women. The oldest description of this deadly disease, though the term cancer was not used, was discovered in Egypt years ago.
The most prevalent cancer in women is Breast Cancer; it is also the second most common cause of death in women apart from lung cancer. Because the breast is composed of identical tissues in males and females, breast cancer also occurs in males though it is less common.
In the olden days before technological advances, there was a belief that there is no treatment for cancer. For years, many physicians in their practices described similar cases with the same sad conclusion that there is no treatment for cancer.
The story remained the same until some doctors achieved greater understanding of the circulatory system that a link between breast cancer and the lymph nodes in the armpit can be established and be removed at the same time.
The first attempt to remove the lymph nodes, breast tissue, and underlying chest muscle was successful, which removed the fear that there is no treatment for the deadly disease called breast cancer.
Most breast pain or painful breast lump can be a case of early breast cancer. Since breast mammography started, breast cancer is most frequently discovered as a nodule that causes no symptom on a mammogram, before any symptoms are present.
The probability of breast cancer rises with age, but breast cancer tends to be more aggressive when it occurs in younger people.

Hope you learnt a lot and have thought of a creative way to share this information. Hope to see you next week.

Usual signs of Breast Cancer
Hey you guys.I hope you haven't missed me that much and forgotten about me. Well i am back with a whole lot of information on cancer and how we can all prevent it.
I was flipping through some sites and saw this article about the signs that you can use to suspect if one has breast cancer and i have decided to publish it, hope you find it very useful.
Signs Know If You Have Breast Cancer
By Tabitha Kimani
Knowing your body well will help you know normal changes and changes that need medical attention. Having regular check up give you great defense against cancer.
Following Are Some Symptoms of Cancer To look for:
- Unfamiliar pain in your breast or in the armpit - It's unusual in sense that pain is different from how you feel when you have monthly periods. Also if it you feel it in one rather than both breasts. If it is not caused by hormonal changes then go to the doctor for checked up.
- A lump or a tumor in the breast or in the armpit - Sometimes is caused by hormonal changes but if it persists don't wait before it is too late. Go for screening and know the cause of swelling.
- A change in size or shape of the mature breast - If you notice any changes in a mature breast more so if it's occurring on one breast only. That is a cause for alarm to seek health professional for cancer breast examination.
- Fluid other than milk leaking from the nipple - During your menopause you may experience non-blood leakage from nipples of both breasts due to hormonal changes. But if it occurs on one breast only, then you need medical attention.
- Change in size of the nipple - When your body weight changes it is natural for nipple to change its size too. But if it retracts in and doesn't return to its normal shape, seek help from your doctor for cancer manual examination. If there is a problem below the surface of the nipple then having a diagnostic mammogram or ultrasound may be the best option.
- Changes of color, shape or texture of the nipple - If you notice puckers, a rash on the nipple skin or darker skin that around the nipple. And after using some cream still doesn't help, then don't waste more time consult doctor when still in its curable stage.
However it is important to know that breast implants, usage of antiperspirants, and wearing under wire bras do not raise your risk for breast cancer. There is also no proven evidence yet to link breast cancer and abortion.

DOES VITAMIN A CAUSE CANCER?
According to Swedish researchers, high intake of vitamin A apparently reduces the risk of developing gastric cancer. Vitamin A comes pre-formed, as retinol in foods of animal origin, or in precursor form, as carotenoids in fruits and vegetables e.g. Carrots. Dr Susanna C. Larasson of the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm and colleagues explain in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Vitamin A may influence the development of stomach cancer through its role in controlling call proliferation; the researchers write that however, epidermiologic studies of vitamin A, retinol (preformed vitamin A) and provitamin A carotenoid in relation to the risk of gastric cancer have documented inconsistent results.
Well that is all for today. I don’t know when I would be able to post because I have got to go to work and always arrive late and tired. I will however give it my best shot.
Stay beautifully blessed.

FIGHT CANCER CELLS WITH YOUR DIET
Welcome to a new day on this blog.
We all know that the major method of treating cancer is by using chemotherapy and radiation. However these methods have very horrible after-effect that makes it very unbearable for cancer patients. However recently there has been the suggestion that monitoring your diet can help kill the cancer cells and decrease the extent to which you might need chemotherapy and radiation.
Here are a few things that you need to avoid/consume to help you fight cancer cells in your body. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
Cancer cells feeds on some foods and survive. Examples are:
1. Sugar: It is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like aspartame should not be used too because it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be honey and molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. A better alternative is Bragg’s aminos or sea salt.
2. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.
3. Cancer cells thrive in acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
4. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. It is best to drink purified water or filtered water to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, so avoid it.
5. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.
You can however consume a diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruit while 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (and eat fresh fruits) including bean sprouts and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40oC).
Hope you enjoyed today’s article. Love to see you next time. Remember to let your family and friends know about what you learn here, it could save their lives.
Remain beautifully blessed, Bim nubi.

FACTS ABOUT CANCER CHEMOTHERAPY AND RADIATION
Hi you guys. I have an article on cancer chemotherapy and radiation that I hope would help you a lot.
Cancer is usually managed using chemotherapy and radiation. Chemotherapy is used as a palliative measure and to prolong life. It may involve the use of cytotoxic drugs, steroid hormones and immunotherapy. However chemotherapy and radiation have some certain aspects that cause discomfort to patients undergoing the treatment. They include:
Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and cause organ damage like the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs.
Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy does not result in more tumor destruction.
When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation, the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
With all these complication or undesirable effect that chemotherapy and radiation has, they are still the major methods of dealing with cancer. They give cancer patients the hope of living a better and healthier life.
However there might be a new way of complimenting the efforts of chemotherapy and radiation, thereby reducing the amount of exposure to these methods. Want to know about it? Join me next time and you would know because I am not letting the cat out of the bag.
Hope you are truly informed. Like I always say, let all your family and friends know about what you learn here, it is your duty to them.
Till I come your way next time, it’s your girl, Bim nubi saying ‘Remain beautifully blessed’. Ciao.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CANCER
Hi ya all. I am sorry I could not post any thing yesterday; I was feeling a little weak. Any how I was reading a newspaper and saw this article that I think you all deserve to see.
Let me ask you a question, how many types of cancer do you think is available? 10, 20? Well from the article, it wrote on 13 but I found out that there exists 25 types (Wow! That is Major!). I also did not know that there is cancer of the Throat. So I decided that if I didn’t know that, there is a great possibility that a lot of you guys might not know too.
The article shows known cancers, what you should look out for and what you can do. You could print out the page and give it to your family and friends. The more people know about cancer and ways to prevent them, the better for all of us.
Here goes, hope you learn a lot.
