Breast Reconstruction:

Many women who have a #mastectomy—surgery to remove an entire breast to treat or prevent #breast #cancer—have the option of having the shape of the removed breast rebuilt.

Whatever your age, relationship status, sexual activity, or orientation, you can't predict how you will react to losing a breast. It’s normal to feel anxious, uncertain, sad, and mournful about giving up a part of your body that was one of the hallmarks of becoming a woman: a significant part of your sexuality, what made you look good in clothes, how you might have fed your babies. No one can ever take that away from you. Moving forward, you now have the opportunity to determine what you want to have happen next. But first you must do some careful thinking and delving into your feelings in order to figure out what is best for you.

#Surgery to reconstruct the breasts can be done at the time of the #mastectomy (which is called immediate reconstruction) or it can be done after the mastectomy incisions have healed and breast cancer #therapy has been completed (which is called delayed reconstruction). Delayed reconstruction can happen months or even years after the mastectomy. #Implants are inserted underneath the skin or chest muscle following the mastectomy. In #autologous tissue reconstruction, a piece of tissue containing skin, fat, blood vessels, and sometimes muscle is taken from elsewhere in a woman’s body and used to rebuild the #breast. This piece of tissue is called a #flap. After the chest heals from reconstruction surgery and the position of the breast mound on the chest wall has had time to stabilize, a #surgeon can reconstruct the nipple and areola. Usually, the new nipple is created by cutting and moving small pieces of skin from the reconstructed breast to the nipple site and shaping them into a new nipple.

Several factors can influence the type of #reconstructive surgery a woman chooses. These include the size and shape of the breast that is being rebuilt, the woman’s age and health, her history of past surgeries, #surgical risk factors.

Prevention of Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is a common cancer in women, but screening and therapy now make it treatable in many cases .There are also new ways to improve risk profile, including becoming aware of the geography of breasts and tracing family history even dad’s not just mom's. Woman won't eliminate risk altogether, the biggest risk for breast cancer is being a woman. But they may be able to dramatically slash their chance of developing the disease. Breast cancer is a malignant tumour that forms in the cells of the breast. Although Breast cancer mostly found in women, men can get breast cancer too. There are a number of symptoms associated with breast cancer, but the first noticeable symptom is often a lump or area of thickened breast tissue. A lump in the breast does not necessarily mean you have cancer - most breast lumps are not cancerous. However, it is always best to have them checked by your doctor. Treatment for breast cancer may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy or bone-directed therapy.

Breast Cancer News: After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States; there is a 1 in 8 chance that a woman will develop the disease in her lifetime. Immune Cells Play Key Role in Early Breast Cancer Metastasis Even Before a Tumour Develops. Ottawa scientists cure aggressive breast cancer in mice with combination therapy. A combination of immunotherapy and a virus could treat aggressive breast cancer, an absolutely amazing study has revealed. New research provides some further evidence of the harms of processed meats, after linking consumption of these foods to increased risk of breast cancer. Processed meats are those that have been modified to enhance their flavour or lengthen their shelf life. Sausages, bacon, hot dogs, and salami are just some examples of processed meats.

Every woman wants to know what she can do to lower her risk of #breast #cancer. Some of the factors associated with breast cancer -- being a woman, your age, and your #genetics, for example -- can't be changed. Other factors -- being overweight, lack of exercise, smoking cigarettes, and eating unhealthy food -- can be changed by making choices. By choosing the healthiest lifestyle options possible, you can empower yourself and make sure your breast cancer risk is as low as possible.
