Take this test & see how you do  on it.  It might teach you a few things about breast cancer.  This is just general information.

I found some of this information to be revealing.  I didn’t realize that breast cancer was the leading cause of death for US women between the ages of 35-50.  I was also surprised to see that younger women tend to have more aggressive forms of breast cancer.  I was not surprised about the ineffectiveness of mammograms, but I find it curious that they still recommend them in spite of the fact that they have a 45% failure rate.  But it is telling that over 40,000 women a year succumb to this condition, and that this has been happening for the last 50 years.

I came across a report that claims that the anticancer drug, Avastin, can help ovarian cancer patients.  The drug, which is commonly used to treat colon, breast and brain cancers, now may have an application in ovarian cancer.

Researchers added Avastin to a standard chemotherapy and maintenance regimen to a group of women with cancer of the ovaries or closely related areas. They found that the women who were given Avastin lived an average of four months longer without the disease progressing than those who did not receive it.

Avastin is not without a level of controversy in its history.  Some experts objected to FDA approval of it for metastatic breast cancer because the drug only slows tumor growth, but fails to extend survival.  The FDA approved it for use anyway, even though a panel of outside advisers voted 5 to 4 against approval.  Although Avastin reduces tumor size and shows an increase in progression-free survival time, it does not prolong or increase the quality of life for late-stage cancer patients. continue reading…

Although there is a big marketing campaign underway to increase the public’s awareness of breast cancer, it has been found that lung cancer actually kills more women than breast, ovarian and cervical cancers combined.  This is unfortunate news, but the truth has to come out.

What is very surprising about this is that 66% of women who come down with lung cancer either have quit smoking at least 10 years before diagnosis, or they have never been smokers. continue reading…

There is always a bunch of hoopla from Big Pharma and the Cancer Establishment about how much progress is being made in the fight against cancer.  But from what I can see, there is a never-ending parade of people coming down with it.  How much progress is really being made here?  Something just doesn’t seem right about this.

The latest celebrity who has been diagnosed with cancer (that I know of) is Martina Navratilova, the prolific tennis star.  She is said to have been diagnosed with breast cancer.  Now if former world-class athletes are coming down with cancer, what chance does an average person have? continue reading…

Looks like the experts are grasping for straws from the same old paradigm that hasn’t produced a cure for cancer in 50+ years of research.  Now they’re claiming that some bone drug (bisphosphonates) is reducing breast cancer rates in women who take them.  It is given to women to fight osteoporosis. Experts do not really know how the drug works to reduce cancer, but they have some speculation on the topic.  So even though they claim to be the experts, they do not appear to have any real understanding of cancer, how it works, and how it can be cured or effectively treated.  They also state in another article that this drug should not be used on women who do not have osteoporosis.

I may seem to be a bit reactionary, but the simple fact is that all drugs have side effects.  The drug approach can only be a temporary approach, at best. continue reading…

There are arguments on both sides of the issue.  On the one hand, doctors recommend that early detection of tumors gives a better chance at survival.  But others say that the mammogram is dosing the patient with radiation.  It would appear that the scientific studies are inconclusive.  In the final analysis, it is a personal, individual decision that each person has to make.  But it should be an informed decision where the person has both sides of the story.

From the conventional perspective, it makes sense to get as early a diagnosis of breast cancer as possible.  This gives the medical professionals more time to fight the cancer.  It gives the patient advanced information that can enable her to take action against the cancer. continue reading…
