Breast cancer is very serious as one in eight women will be diagnosed with this disease during their lifetime. It is a good bet that you or someone very close to you is struggling or has struggled with breast cancer. There are two main types of cancer cancer. There is Ductal Carcinoma and Lobular Carcinoma. Ductal Carcinoma will start in the ducts that are created to move milk between the breast and the nipple. This is the most common type of breast problems.
The two most common types of breast cancer that are the most common are called Ductal Carcinoma and the other is Lobular Carcinoma. Ductal Carcinoma as noted starts in the milk ducts that have been created to transport milk between the breast and the nipple. Ductal Carcinoma is the very most common of all types of breast cancers.
Lobular Carcinoma starts in the lobules. There are rare cases where this problem has started in a different area of the breast but this is extremely uncommon. The best key to survival is early detection. This will help you get this evil disease into remission and hopefully never return. Early detection leads to the best and highest chance of survival. Women should always do self breast examinations and should schedule yearly mammograms once you reach thirty five years of age.
The hormone estrogen in certain types of chest cancer cases actually causes the cancer to grow at a very rapid rate. This is called HER2-positive cancer. The name comes from a gene who's job is to make the cells grow, divide and finally do repairs on themselves. When a cell goes haywire and begins the duplication process to many times and cancer is present this will cause the gene to duplicate and rapidly grown the cancer. Research shows that women that have this type of cancer have a much higher chance to come out of remission. This problem is also seen as much more aggressive
The very beginning stages of this problem cannot be seen or felt but as the disease progresses these symptoms may or may not appear. You may notice one or both of your nipples changing in size and appearance, the breasts may start to feel very lumpy. You may also feel lumps in your armpits. The lumps may be very tough and hard to the touch and your nipples may begin to drip or leak.
As it is growing, one may notice the following: Your nipple may change in size, feel or shape, you may encounter redness or even puckering or dimpling (this could resemble the skin of an orange), you may feel a lump in your armpit or in your breast that is very hard to the touch and does not feel smooth. At this point there may be little or no pain and you may see pus leaking from the nipple
As the cancer progresses along in stages one may feel: Pain in your bones, discomfort in your breasts, the arm nearest the breast that has cancer may become swollen, you may develop skin ulcers and you may begin to lose weight without trying to. The good news is there have been lots of recent developments and treatments in chest cancer. Depending on the stage the chest cancer is in this may include: Chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, a combination of all three, hormonal or Targeted therapy may also be used.
At age twenty and over start and continue with monthly breast exams. Women who are thirty five and older need to get yearly mammograms. Depending on your families history with breast cancer you may wish to consult your physician regarding what types of early testing you can do.
