Breast Cancer

Scared of what they might find, many women are opting not to perform the potentially life-saving breast self-exam. The thought of finding a lump and being all alone when it happens is enough to keep some women -- even those believed to be at increased risk of breast cancer -- from performing the quick and simple test. Breast cancer is the No. 2 cause of cancer death in women after lung cancer. And it is the leading cause of cancer death among women aged 35 to 54. The most effective way to fight breast cancer is to detect it early. Here at NetFem we were personally effected by this disease as a family member of one of our staff  was diagnosed with breast cancer. We all became acutely aware of things we needed to do to beat this.

Ways You Can Beat The Odds of Becoming A Breast Cancer Fatality


HAVE A MAMMOGRAM. The current recommendation is a baseline mammogram by age 35,
one every other year after 40 and annually after 50.

MAINTAIN A LOW FAT DIET. Fat in the intestinal tract binds to estrogen and prevents its
elimination. Every fat cell makes estrogen.

ELIMINATE "CHRONIC" STRESS. Chronic stress impacts the levels of hormones and
weakens your immune system and your ability to stay healthy.

DO SELF BREAST EXAM. No one can know your body the way you can. You are looking for
any change.

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. If you have an overwhelming feeling that something is not right,
have it checked out.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO GET A SECOND OPINION. Or even a third or a fourth. Your
understanding of what is happening to your body is the most important "medicine" you have.

AND REMEMBER, EARLY DETECTION IS YOUR STRONGEST WEAPON IN THE
BATTLE.
